If the right opportunities come up in other cities, I will not say no to them. 

This is a critical step  - do not take it lightly.

With the Hawaii market, will it be smart to be negative for a few years and let appreciation catch up?

Initially signed up for property management for few months before I'm mentally prepared to start self-managing.

Renters are all up to date and no missed or late rents.

This adds up to a total savings/increase in debt paydown of over $18,000 per year!

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

I'm thinking/hoping that perhaps with the LVP the urine will stop on top of the flooring and the smell will be bad enough that the tenant will have to clean it up.

Generally it would be "capitalized", i.e. set up for slow depreciation which does not benefit you in a 1031 scenario.

He understood what troubles I experience self managing from afar as well.There's no start up fees, no lease renewal fee, minimal charges of I find my own tenant using them to only place the lockbox and take photos, otherwise it is 75%.
