Purchase for 227k$70k in renoReno included, roof, sub-floor, new bathrooms, added a full bath, added a bedroom, updated kitchen and new back deck.  

My wife and I absolutely love Hawaii (although we are from GA (-: ) and think that -- now that Oahu, Maui, and Kauai are essentially maxed out or unaffordable for the vast majority -- people will be flocking to the Big Island in the near and distant future.

Or if you cash out refinance your condo, you are essentially moving that debt to a 30 year fixed option which I think is your best move.

Hi James, To answer your question, I can only speak for myself if a tenant requested that the bathroom countertops be adjusted, I would gladly make that accommodation.

Out with the bathroom/tub and in with a walk-in shower, new tile and vanity, rebuild the deck completely with trex deck and railing and raise it all to one level (about 1,200 sq ft of deck on an 800 sq ft cabin).

Both asset types can build wealth, but they behave differently, require different levels of operational resilience, and serve different phases of an investor’s long-term strategy.Understanding how they differ is essential for building a portfolio that supports your risk tolerance, your desired level of involvement, and the cash flow you expect.

That half bathroom added ~$50k of value per the comps (mission beach, 3 units from the ocean).  

What I'm getting at here is in my previous market essentially anything in a C+ area with a 10% cap rate on a 20% down mortgage would be a sure fire sale.

New faucets and hardware in the kitchen and bathroom is a relatively inexpensive upgrade that gives the living area new life.  

Does the home have a kitchen and bathroom?
