I live in the Pahoa area and love it.

I've never heard of "wouldn't be welcomed cuz my wife is Asian & I'm White". I think you'd be a lot more welcomed here than you would than say, wherever Deliverance was filmed. There are a lot of mixed families here.

You didn't mention if you have any children. Schooling here is problematic.

Also if you have any pets, now is the time to look at the importation process.

Renting in the general area for awhile, Rainman, will let you choose the exact area to live in that fits you much better than to just buy a house right away. You may find a nice enough house right off and all, but then after a month of wandering around the place discover just the perfect area but it would be too much bother to sell and move. If you are in a rental, then moving to the perfect location for you would be much easier.

The weather changes dramatically over a short distance as well as the traffic patterns can be a concern as well as distance to the places you'll want to go to all the time. So, find a rental close to where you think you will want to buy a house and then start looking around and living in the area for awhile to see if it fits. JMHO, YMMV.
