Looking for someone who Airbnb's in Hawaii

Clayton Eidosn

Getting into real estate and I have several ideas already lined up and how I am going to executive them.

One of which I am a bit fuzzy on and don't necessarily know the ins and outs and would love someone who already Airbnb's in Hawaii.

Here is the situation maybe someone can help.

I have a brother who lives on the Big Island up by puna in the Hawaiian Beaches. We want to buy a piece of land, clear it, and build on the property just for him to start with. After which we want to add 2 Airbnb's to the property like a "come live in the jungle, quarter-mile from the beach" or "Jungle-lo". He would manage the properties and I would manage the quests and the check-ins and outs. 

Is there anyone out there who has done this, can give insight, or can tell me what I should be paying attention to in order to execute this correctly?

Also, if you want to just text or call me that would be great to 602-821-5953. Love connecting with people

Although, I am not as familiar with the Big Island, please look into this further. Make sure that the county will allow you to Airbnb that property. If it is zoned Ag, it's quite possible that will restrict you from renting it out as a vacation property. In other counties, you can be fined up to $10,000/day if you do this. You may look into requesting a permit for a B&B if he is to live on it while managing, but those processes can sometimes take years to be approved. Also, consider any additional insurances you would need to carry for that district. 

Have you also considered the terrain and cost to build? Much to consider, but good luck! After all, it is St Patrick's Day :)
