If you do this correctly, don't have any kids, and have your mail and tax returns sent to your state of residence there is nothing wrong with it. It's one advantage we have as pilots.
If you rent a place in HI but own a place in FL this is perfectly legit, you could even own a place in HI too just don't have your mail or tax returns sent there. The federal government and states talk and share that info.
It does not matter if you rent or own. The only thing from a legal standpoint is where you actually reside. If you're residing in Hawaii you owe taxes there regardless of property in FL. What you post is not legit it's simply a way to try and circumvent the law without getting caught.
