@Darius Falahkhir I am a real estate agent on Maui. I have many investor clients that do write off their trip when they come to visit their rental property. If you do not own a rental property here I don't believe you can write off any part of the trip.
You should definitely confirm with a CPA.
If you do want an overview of the market when you are here I would be happy to help.

There is a lot of potential on Maui and specifically Kihei to make solid returns and have a place to stay every year. Feel free to PM me anytime!

Aloha,
I am looking for information about investing in Maui HI. I would love to hear from anyone who has experience investing in this or a similar type market ie. high median at $560,000, resort based, very limited new construction, high appreciation rates. Where do the opportunities lie? I know there is a lot of opportunity in the high-end flip market but the capital required for entry there is $1M +. Any help on where to focus in this type of market would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
