Hawaiian Shores/Beaches, Pahoa, and Nanawale are all off the menu if you can't pay cash; nobody will sell lava insurance on them right now.
The shoreline throughout Puna is nearly all rocky bluffs; good news is that flooding is next to impossible; bad news is that shoreline is sort of useless, as even if you can climb down to the water the waves will dash you to bloody bits. Ocean views are rare; suggest Hamakua if distant seaviews are important. Puna is the one part of the island that is so flat that distant views rarely exist; on the other hand, the jungles are often lovely to look at.
Suggest Leilani Estates or Volcano for reasonably priced insurable large lot houses.

We purchased in Fern Forest on Leila off of Ala Kapena, working with Adam Veloria from Hawaii Life, you can probably google him. We met some neighbors and we are looking forward to building. It's a nice small community there on the fringe of civilization and the same road as the volunteer fire station and roads folks. We were planning to visit in February/March for survey and staking, but had a terrible family tragedy recently. Check it out and let us know where you land.
