We live in Puerto Rico and what you state is not the reality on the island. 

There are great resources and people to help in your journey, Staten Island is great for both flips + buy & hold especially Multi Family.  

Hey everyone,I’m a rookie investor based on Long Island, NY, and I’m currently exploring the idea of starting a salon suite business.

Love meeting people who are building things too.

(Meetups, local market insights, deal analysis, accountability, etc.)Would love to hear what’s been most valuable for you.

Buyer who wants to develop later (more on this below)Would love feedback on which buyer type actually takes interest in properties like this.Rental Scenarios I Ran (rough draft)These are just examples of what I’ve seen in Englewood with similar setups:ScenarioEst.

I would love to connect with your wife if she ever wants to talk Oside STRs :)I don't have any advice on buying in Hawaii. 

We just joined eXp, which means we no longer have to worry about licensing limitations, and we’re planning to expand into Connecticut and Rhode Island before the end of the year. 

If no other units in your building have the 2-person island, then it will be a great feature, but may draw too much attention, and questions.
