Or you can also include the taxes in the overall rental rate and indicate in the agreement that the total includes applicable taxes.If you’re managing the property yourself, you'll need to collect these taxes from your tenants and remit them to the state and county.

(So yes, you may win the auction for $12,000 owed to the HOA -but now the first mortgager will come after YOU if their primary mortgage isn't paid... and you can be sure the original owner isn't going to continue to pay that if they are out of the house). 

You will also want to draft a comprehensive lease agreement that outlines terms such as rent amount, due dates, security deposit, maintenance responsibilities, and any house rules.

@Bryce KennebeckKudos to you for operating a STR house hack!

I've looked up local GIS maps and checked for tax assessments, but I don't think that's at market rate either.Same question for market rent - when searching for other parks in the area, it's very hard to get anyone to call / email me back for information.Any suggestions?

Interest rates go up rents go up.

Rate will be on the high end, but it can be done with a reduced PPP.

Thanks,AniMotion sensor lights, security cameras, security doors, put ADT sign in the front of the house - will get rid of a lot of homeless and any weird people lurking around!

Does anyone know the figures for these expenses offhand possibly - Vacancy Rate, Capex, Property Managers?

It shouldn't be a problem to call and while I don't know the specific rules for Hawaii (probably something like a smoke detector in or next to every bedroom and a carbon monoxide detector in the house), rules regarding smoke detectors are not going to be "grandfathered in" (a term that building departments hate btw).
