Hi Allen, Mom, and Carey,
I just checked some ads in the Hilo newspaper which I found by Googling. Wow, rents are pretty darn low in Puna. Amazingly low really. My teeny tiny studio condo in the French Quarter in New Orleans rents for more than some entire houses in HPP.
Carey are you suggesting structures in Kalapana should be mobile for the reason I think you are --- LAVA? I am in a very fragile state of mind with respect to lava and catchments. I was just starting to accept the existence of both! Carey -- you make an excellent point about choosing a property for rental versus one to live in. When a property is "precious" it may not be as good a rental. I am just coming to understand that.
Punamom -- I will e-mail you, although I, uh, haven't set foot on the Big Island yet. Always good to do your research first! And I will definetely have to rent out any place I get, unless I can persuade my partner to take a job at Hilo Medical Center and move before me, to kind of get our bearings.
