@Garrett Hilt Aloha and welcome to BP!  I am a broker in Maui and have several clients that do very well with their vacation rentals here.  Most units in the better complexes, if managed well, have achieved an 80% occupancy rate average over the last several years.  I believe this is what separates Hawaii from many other markets, our demand is mostly year-round.  If you would like to get more detailed information I am  more than happy to share some scenarios with you.  Let me know, and enjoy all the resources this platform has to offer!

@Russell Alton Welcome to BP.  If you are considering Hawaii please let me know.  I am on Maui and I have several clients that are making from 8-12% cash on cash returns with vacation rentals.  I would love to link up with your lender friend here also.  Feel free to reach out anytime.

@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.

Aloha @Neil Anthony!  I am very active in the Kihei marketplace and would love to answer any questions you may have.   

@Jeremy Baker is a great resource as well.  He has an intimate knowledge of the market and operates a great VR business, I should know...He is a client of mine!  

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!
