Would love to connect and be a resource to you anyway that I can - I'm a realtor, and investor in the area and have some tips & tricks you can implement into your business and see if it helps! 

If you have any questions concerning especially the funding of this project, feel free to reach out.

Hi this is Swanny.  

And here's a tip...When you think you are all done; stay in your new STR for 24-48 hours and keep a list of each thing that you were reaching for that wasn't there. 

Please allow me to relate a couple of real estate educational experiences I thought were good - great, and a few more I thought were crap.  

Thank you to @Owen Rosen for helping me with the insurance on this one.

I am just getting started out and have a rough idea of how to work through these numbers and so I wanted to throw this out there to see how far off I was.I haven't gotten any numbers on financing this so I assumed a lot.

*Affordable – Next, Phoenix has relatively affordable properties in comparison to other top metro areas such as Los Angeles and San Francisco, which means that investors have the chance to purchase homes at lower rates, thus increasing their profit margins.

One was conventional financing and the other was a portfolio loan from a local bank here in Hawaii, I also did a lot of research into DSCR loans during my search.I'm also an agent here on Oahu but focus mainly on Property Management, at the brokerage we manage roughly 50 units that are a mix of STR, MTR, and LTR's.
