Thanks for posting. My brother wants to buy a 2nd home on Oahu. I told him the Big Island has more bang for the buck. It seems like $1.2 million (his budget) on Oahu gets you a nice small home. The Big Island a nice home with a $1,000,000 view. I had a question if you can help me out. Other than the airport and stadium area, what other areas should I not look at as someone from the mainland? Or maybe, what areas should I do some research on? Mahalo!
