We have done some preliminary research on AirDNA.co and it looks like Napili region is strong at the moment.

My only regret with maximum overfunded life insurances is that I didn't take the time to investigate it fully ten years earlier.Personally I am also maxing out my Roth IRA and 401k, and everything over is going into the life insurance that has most of the same characteristics as a Roth QRP with some more advantages (no RMD, no maximum yearly limit, no penalty for early withdrawal, no limit on loans, no direct recognition on loan, steady returns and on top of it a 'free' life insurance).Some people will even completely pass on the qualified retirement plans and only use life insurance instead as their primary savings/retirement/college fund account.

@Ben ClarkIf youd like you can report them to the board and they’ll start an investigation and he’d have to show proof that he received an offer.Imo you should, agents that lie to get an advantage for their seller is against the law and the fact he got an offer the same day when it’s been up for almost a year is too much of a confidence.

Get a private investigator to look up all related LLC's, their names on real estate in Texas, Georgia, North Carolina... pretty easy to find a couple 100. 

I am not as knowledgeable about other Indiana markets, but I tend to agree that you can find more profitable markets here outside of Greater Lafayette.I hope this helps anybody investigating our area!

That said, I do think the shortage of quality LTRs in the Poconos makes it a good market to investigate for that, especially over the next few years as additional resorts come online in the area, and the existing ones rebound post-Covid.
