Beachboy,
Hmmmmm. Just asking a very neutral question. I was wondering more about the economics of rent vs. buy. What are rents on the BI-- Puna side now? I would like to compare them to the costs of mortgages. How hard is it to find good rentals? Questions of that ilk.
No, you and I agree, mostly, on most stuff.
I would say that renting might be a good way to get to know any place. Then you can see if you like it, can afford it, find the places you like best, etc. before you get tied down to a mortgage--especially if it would be hard to sell or if house prices fall more.
Some people get island fever, you know. [
