We have been getting creative and are still able to find opportunities to buy in Hawaii.

@Samantha N.samana is good to invest I do not know if you will build or buy but if you build like how I am doing then you need to be carful with the steep lands they have on the mountains, before you build or buy make sure the title is clean do not buy the acta de venta unless you know the families that is selling the land, samana is very attractive tourist area does not have the boom like punta cana but is attractive and your investment will go a long way.

Looking for some feedback on the numbers on this property. Would you make an offer on this property based on these projected returns?Property Details: SFH 6 beds 2 Bath 2016 sqft - Rented by the room.Purchase: 340,000...

Though, if that price doesn't fit your budget at all, this place might not be worth it to buy.

I would separate it by one you choose and the other happens as part of monthly operations.I can chose to make an investment by buying a property.  

Seller has no money to pay utilities or buy groceries.

Even of they do not pay, this judgement will haunt them every time they try to buy anything that requires a credit check, even renting their next place.

You did not just buy this property.  

Scenario: If one is to buy a new home to use as a primary residence ( till say Jan 1 2025), fix it up and get it ready for STR use starting Jan 2025 while STRing the initial primary until Jan 1, 2025, then move back to the initial primary and fulltime STR the new property..

We're either looking at renting out our current SFH or buying a duplex and house hacking.
