@Patrick M.Good Morning,Your operation sounds like ours except we don’t have rent control.

For what it's worth, I'd estimate my yearly expenses in Hawaii at a reasonable $60k per annum.. this includes eating out for 80-90% of meals, driving a lowish mpg car with full coverage insurance, and 2-3 international trips to Asia per year.Now, not sure who you were talking to that needed to work 3 jobs to earn $60k/year. 1 or 1.5 modest jobs could surely cover that!

Basically, it turns into a long weekend trip.

Good Morning All,I am asking a few questions on building a Multi-Family house on a lot of land that I am planning on buying.If you have experience with Multi families, id really appreciate any feedback~I am looking to buy a 4 family house (to keep it residential and not commercial), and I will be living in one of the units and renting the other 3 out.Now my questions are...1.)

We were called the morning of the offer review and told to put our best offer forward again as there was another better offer on the table.  

Friday 7/14 I texted my agent in the morning but no answer.

Yes But let me qualify that a little ;)There are deals out there, but you're definitely not gonna be tripping over them these days. 

When is your next planned trip out here? 

Ben Winchester Morning Ben keep the money in the bank until you find another deal because you don't want to gamble with the money if you're planning on doing rental believe me situation will come and you will need the money.

Housing court judges make their own laws, and security deposit requirements are designed to trip up the landlord and provide triple damages to the tenant.
