If you are in the military and are considering purchasing a home in Hawaii, this might be a great opportunity for you to do that.  With the historically low interst rates on VA loans in Hawaii, the high BAH rates and the shortage of rental properties, there is no better time to be an owner/seller/landlord/investor.  I also manage rental properties and I have ZERO available.  All of my rental properties are currently occupied yet my phone continues to ring daily with calls from Service Members that are looking for homes to rent.
