I've been listening to BP podcasts for about a year and a half now and because I have the shiny object syndrome, every investment strategy that I hear about sounds achievable to me.

Whatever the case we want a lot of exits, and we want to buy under market.As I said, turnkey doesnt fit our model, and we dont invest out of state (with one unique one off exception due to a child's college, and we are losing our shirt on that purchase).I think turnkey is fine if you do your own research, but I think its a mistake to consider turnkey a buy and forget investment.Maybe others who specialize on out of state purchases or turnkey investing could give you a little better guidance than I can.

In general I believe it depends on *your* specific objectives and precise metrics: ROI/ yield, cash on hand, timeline, your time investment, skills you could leverage/ take advantage of (your strengths/ level of experience / skills to add value at each step e.g, hands-on remodeling vs. hiring a team), etc. 

I’ve got to side with @Sam Shin on this one, HI is a very unique market with an incredible amount of factors favoring homeowners.

I've been presuming one con for different locations is that you will need to build out a unique team for each location.

I'd recommend credit unions and smaller banks, they seem to be more willing to work with unique situations. 

It's a shiny object to people just getting involved and becomes click bait.

I have never offered this much more than asking, but I loved the character of the house and I place a premium on uniqueness in this market.

@Matthew Olszak"Push the tenant out" Hmm...nope...doesn't quite have that unique "pinko" ring to it...still laughing at that comment from the Bircher, Matthew.

Make sure you don't throw lots of money at an attorney in the hopes of getting a little bit of earnest money back.TIP - One thing you might be able to do (depending on the circumstances), if to send notice to the escrow agent (or escrow attorney) that you object to the release of your earnest money.
