Rent 1st - at least ONE year minimum.
Lacking cell reception is common.Depends on carrier and where in Puna you wish to be.
Do NOT piss off your neighbors.Some of us have been here all our lives.
No jobs here.Bring tons of money with you.
Fern Forest may be your best option as far as no permits.
There are a handful of long time residents in HA who will turn you in to the county in a heart beat .
No soil in HA,flooding is an issue as is higher property crime and drugs.
Solar depends,if doing it yourself or hiring a company to do it for you.
Water catchment depending on sizes,3 to 6 grand.
Volcano has an excellent charter school,one of the best in puna.FF is much closer for your child.
It is an island,every thing is shipped in,hence costs much more than where ever you are coming from .
Rent 1st - a year or 3 even so you can understand the dynamic of your choices,end lets not ever forget there can be HUGE earth quakes every so often,or months and months of rain,or no rain for months .
A code cesspool is best regardless if no permit on dwelling.It is the sub tropics and you do not want diseases from your poop in the sense of flies or neighbors getting deathly ill and traced back to you.
If you want deep soil,up hamakua side is far better.
Remember - RENT 1st - a minimum of one year,3 is better.
Good luck
