I will be doing a pretty large renovation in one of the units, and mostly cosmetic reno in another unit, so i'm wondering what the best way to go about dealing with any potential lead issues in this case.

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 did see this https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/1199508-cash... and thought I would check it out. 

How bad is this deal?

I had to replace the fences after a strong storm last year, which costed $4200 in materials and labor.

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!

Sounds like you took the first step by making this post.

We tried Short Term Rental this summer.
