One other piece of advice, speaking from experience. If your friend is serious about purchasing property the best advice to give them is to employ the help of an experienced and knowledgeable real estate agent that is not just familiar with island property, but specializes in it. While it's helpful to seek out advice from a forum like this especially from those of us that are islanders, it's always good to have somebody that can help answer some of these questions and guide your friend through the process. It's not just about finding a piece of property but finding answers to who and where to go for financing, insurance, what each island has to offer or not, dealing with questions of main land logistics etc...
I highly recommend your friend contact Nancy and Doug Deporter of Keller Williams. Nancy was my agent when I bought my place and provided me with invaluable advice. They both are awesome to work with AND they are both islanders themselves. Visit her website at
http://www.nancydeporter.com, or better yet have them give her a call. Several of us on this forum have employed their services and been very pleased as a result. They really are the best out there.
