The idea is that the cost of owning it (repairs, maintenance, etc...) are all built in. 

It's all intermediaries and committees and underwriting teams.

Hello all,I need clarification on capital gains tax.

It looks like a lot, but most of what’s listed was relatively small and cheap.We’ll return to how we responded and why, but for now, I’ll just note that not only did the inspection ensure the buyer wouldn’t be completely blindsided by something like all the floor joists having been torn apart by termites, but what we ended up agreeing to more than paid for the cost of the inspection (usually $300 to $500).

Thanks all

So in that respect it is a good option, and location is also very good.These are all studio apartments with a living area of 392 SF (not too bad from Waikiki standard), however the price in this building has already gone much higher over the past few year.

We spent a total of just under 50k renovating the property, all new windows, interior including paint, flooring, updated plumbing, electrical, all completely renovated the interior including removal of popcorn ceilings, and all costmetic updates, cabinets, countertops, light fixtures.

Consistency with contractors and controlling material costs can make all the difference.

But all you need to do is ask the agent you will deal with.
