We fell in love with the island as a family and know it pretty well now.

As a pure investment it looks okay, but with a primary residence for my family thrown in at zero additional cost, it looks really really great.  

Right now we sold most of our properties and are down to 2 single family rentals.

If I were the potential renter I would ask to be let out of the lease and move to a residence that has ground available- and ask about the ground before signing the lease just to make sure it is grounded.

I am actually thinking if I should purchase one for my primary residence. 

Take those things into consideration as you take on the challenge and call a property manager if you get in over your head.HOWEVER, deciding to use a property manager in the beginning when screening the right tenant, (we call them Residents), highly increases you likelihood of success as a CASHFLOWING investor.
