Good pictures are key and you need a pro with a wide angle lense.

You can apply some sort of cap rate, but because standards vary so widely, they are not useful.Apply long term evaluation methods, short term is riskier.

Airbnb is becoming/has become more widely considered by vacationers as a lodging option and I believe that we’re still on the ground floor. 

Prices are regularly lower nation wide, and Hawaii is no exception.

The angle or view the photos are fine for most. 

Background: I own mostly single family homes in the greater Las Vegas area, I bought mostly in the 2008-2011 time frame...I primarily focused on absolute cash flow/numbers, ROI, first time I looked at things on more of a profit/rent angle...

You will have scores based off of each of your three credit reports (Experian, Equifax, and Transunion) but now instead of just giving you one for each, they will give you the auto, credit card, consumer, mortgage lender scores.So now they will give you for ExperianFico Score 8 (Most Widely used Version)Fico Score 2 (Used primarily in Mortgage lending)Fico Auto Score 8  (Auto Lending)Fico Auto Score 2 (Auto Lending)Fico Bankcard Score 8 (Credit Cards)Fico Score 3 (Credit Card Lending)Fico Bankcard Score 2 (Credit Card Lending)I happen to get my scores recently....my exprian score ranges from a low of 751 for Fico Score 3 to a high of 825 for Fico Bankcard 8.  

They slammed a bunch of tenants in there to get occupancy up to try and land a higher value.If you can't validate anything with their numbers and they have little documentation on the existing tenants then you might want to approach from an angle of they finance you with little down for 12 to 18 months and you refi out and retire their loan.

I've checked all the reports and can't find any correlation as to the wide spread, I have 3 paid/closed collections from 5+ years ago that don't show on the experian, but do on the other 2. 

It appears that most strategies involving these properties would be too risky, but I can't stop thinking that there must be some angle that I am not thinking of that could work and reduce the risk somehow.
