Very comprehensive Carey! Thank you.
You made a good point too because my providing no information leaves the field a bit too open.
We have no school age children to consider so that is not an issue. We think we prefer being closer into downtown Hilo but do not want to rule out other things. We think we would be interested in some sort of home conversion from a commercial space but are not finding a lot of these types of space available. Ocean view is a lot more important to us than ocean front however having neither would not be the end of the world. When initially looking on the island we were more interested in higher, cooler and wetter than we were lower, drier and warmer. Again we don't want to tie our hands if the right property presented itself. While some acreage would be nice it is not a requirement by any means. Home size matters little to us and we prefer a small manageable space to a large home. Cost is a consideration for us as we hope to mortgage little or none if at all possible. Less is more and lifestyle matters more to us than a large home and lots of land.
Does this help at all? We are hoping to compile a list of areas/places to look at from your recommendations.
