Would love to repeat this (appreciation has been great) but with rates it doesn't currently support the prices/weekly rents What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I would be investing in Austin, TX, where this seems to be a growing trend with the current tight inventory of conventional housing and lots of surrounding land.

This will allow you to leverage more of your cash for down payments.

I’ve done rehabs on the mainland, and this would be my first in Hawaii so I want to be as prepared as possible and ensure my analysis accounts for everything (or as close to!).

Thank you, Theresa, this is very helpful - I want to hear the truth, and move on!

This means they will move out. 

Any wisdom or experiences that could share with your own experiences thay you wished you did would be helpful as well.Thank you

Has anyone else gone through this process of rezoning and can provide me with some links/guidance on the process? 

I ask this question because there are many markets that are growing in population and want to be a step ahead.

Services you cannot shop for seem high ($800/appraisal - is this a rural area)?
