I don't know if these kinds of deals are common.

Not sure about Aina Nalu though.Anyway, a rough estimate with self managed (which I have seen many mainlanders do) its going to be the $21,450 gross, minus 877.96 for tax, $6,110 maintenance fees/HOA, $12, 454 in mortgage, $400 online vacation rental booking fee, and you end up in the black with positive $1,608.04.Also, a scary number I noticed on Zillow the other day was that home prices will rise a projected 22% on Maui next year.I bit concerning to see that kind of spike.I work in Hotel and Restaurant Management business and so does my father who happens to be in the same room at the moment (he works in a separate resort).In 2009 both resorts were in the 50% occupancy range.

I'm kind of in a holding pattern now, as I have a piece of land that I bought for the wrong reasons a few years back, and I'm de-prioritizing it as a vacation spot and trying to get the cash to invest on my 3rd property with.

Your tenant might try to fix this himself and cut his jugular or use the wrong kind of glass and make it look ridiculous.

Angie,It would depend on what kind of business the S-Corp is.Is it for Real Estate, or non-RE?

There are all kinds of variables.

And whether we want to believe it or not, something bad could happen on any kind of note you own (in our business we call them the Big 4: death, divorce, job-loss, and illness).

I am a newcomer on REI, After reading several books and listening to many podcast, I realized that the kind of investment I want to do is buy and hold with positive cash-flow.

I've kind of ignored the folks that advertise on tv and such because it always seems to have some annoying element to me.

Kind of like a lease-option set up, but instead of taking ownership at the end, I would be taking ownership at the beginning and freezing the price and buying in 2023 at the 2013 price.
