Probably less of a factor for Oahu.

A huge factor in your decision should be location, Philly is considered to be very block by block.

I am sure there’s many factors to this and may need much more information so I can guide them to the right person who can help.

There is a lot of risk to this scenario...3 hours away, not visiting in person, likely offering too much.....It depends on your end goals but these are risk factors that I would take into account if I was looking to buy a rental.

There are other factors, of course: appreciation, your tax situation, perhaps you're overinvested in another area and want to diversify, etc.

Through the analysis process I learned that every property has an offer that makes sense on paper, but there are countless non-tangible factors that will influence how the investment turns out.

It's a reference and a data point, but it is a pixel and not a picture.Condition is also a major factor; we get typically 200 to 300 more than calculated, because the condition is nicer than average and people are willing to pay for that.PM's are often a bit on the low conservative side, understandably, they don't want to overpromise, also it makes it a bit harder to find a great tenant.Size is another major factor; tenants are very much shopping for square footage.
