Does it make sense to buy a home in Hawaii?

I'm currently in the military and have orders to go to Hawaii. I'd be looking to use a VA load. Is Hawaii a good market to buy in? I'd look to live in the home for about 2 years before my orders are up and then probably rent it out.

    Hey Adam! I’m a real estate agent from Oahu. From my understanding, Hawaii is a totally different animal from housing in the mainland. Homes here are a lot more pricey! In that sense, it definitely would be smart to invest in a house here if you have the funds required. With a VA loan, It would be a lot easier. If you have any questions, just let me know & I’ll be happy to help. I have a lot of resources available.

    @Adam Gregory

    Try look at Zillow for house pricing here.the only time you can make money if you do house hacking.

    But the typical 2-bed house is about 400-600.

    Thanks,
