I don't own in Hawaii, but my perception from my research there is that it's not an ideal cash flow market right now but can be great for appreciation, which it sounds like would be a pretty good deal in your scenario.If I had that much cash to deploy personally I would be putting it into properties that are most likely to hold value and most likely to gain value.
