A vacation rental can be viable in Puna, but how viable really depends on location, condition of the property, service & timing.
Asking if a vacation rental is viable option in Puna on a week when the paper is touting the increased tourist travel on the east side due to the brand new exciting eruption occurring pin points the timing issues.
As an out of state owner, you will need to have a property manager. Who you choose & how they represent the property is the service key.
Condition of the property will be important in figuring out the expenses in maintaining the property (along with a very conscientious property manager.
And where the property is will also be important.... some properties are very remote, some are shoreline, some are near exciting things to do & some are in the middle of areas with heavy rooster infestations & pocket rockets & sub woofers that may discourage clients....
By the way, most of this goes for either side of the island... the frogs & VOG debate can be mute with some of the other things here...
