I'm in my late 20s and I feel that I have saved quite a lot for my age and I am ready to invest.

It may surprise you to learn that here, in Honolulu, the zoning for rentals is quite regulated (note- I did not say enforced) While Waikiki is largely "resort" zoning, which allows daily rentals, there ARE individual buildings that restrict this, requiring 30 or even 90 days minimum occupancy.

I am lucky enough to have a father that was the number 1 home inspector in the bay are the past few years (2 time in the US) so he is quite familiar with the RE business.

If the seller gets $250 and the nonrefundable deposit is $1000, you still walk away with $750, on a deal that never happened.I'm not quite sure I understand.
