I was going to do this, but I changed my mind after talking with my target demographic (my kids).

I think there are many reasons, and some of them that come to my mind (subjective opinion) are:1.

Keep in mind not all HAs work the same.

But keep in mind if your using money you cant afford to get back then buying action property might not be appropriate for your current endeavors and its better to just buy open market were you can do proper due diligence and know you have a build-able site.

It's still a "listing" in his mind regardless if it hits the MLS.

Owner occ developments there is no value associated to the income approach so these props generally speaking will appreciate a lot more as the neighborhoods are much more desirable. builders the last thing they want to do is sell to investors if they are creating owner occupied communities.. rentals degrade the neighborhood and they will be sabotaging their own values to allow a bunch of investors to buy and rent out in their communities.So when you buy new builds keep in mind if its a build to rent community they will NOT appreciate like owner occupied neighborhoods.. might be best to find something already 3 to 5 years old where the stigma of renters dies down.. that would be best to protect your investment.

My personally favorite spot so far is Ko Olina but I'm open minded.

Keep in mind tax's.

Plus, we had a family in mind that were looking to rent a house.

Do you have any better info on the date that this would go into effect, and do you mind sharing the link where people should go to apply for their STR permit now?
