I'll need new electric service, furnace & hot water heater . . . so, all and all, there is no MAJOR renovating, simply getting these 2 units operational. . .If you know of any good, reliable, and reputable contractors in the area, please PM me, or send me their details.

I work very closely with a very reputable developer.

I learned from the big boys (Commercial developers and contractors) that the three are the best, also you need a good reputable contractor.

Not only that, but I had also heard that only native islanders can buy the land so that condo developers don't come in and overdevelop the island (no offense intended).Again this is all hear-say, but this is what my relatives in Hawaii told me when I visited some years back.In any case, as far as I can tell most of the natives to Hawaii have a pretty tough time making ends meet.

One caveat no budget attorney until the seed capital is raised.A real estate developer offered me an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a multi-million dollar development.

You can visit the developer's website and get an idea of their credentials.

The town is slowly growing, but has 2 developments started and is jotted to build 600+ new homes soon (the whole town is only 10-15,000 people right now).I'd like to build a 2 story building. offices upstairs, shops/stores downstairs.

If it's all "out in the country" and being used for farming, and not likely to be developed in the very near future, that's going to limit your options to farmingIs it in the path of future development?

There is another benefit to using contractors it is the relationships you develope.
