Almost daily, I get folks emailing me or sending me messages through social media about buying a property in Hawaii that they can use for some type of investment income to offset the hight price for housing here. I also have people asking for strategies about buying property now in Hawaii while waiting for retirement so they have something to visit during the time they wait, while also having a piece of real estate waiting for them when they are ready to make the move. To help answer these questions, I called in Kyle Nishiyama, REALTOR, Knutson and Associates as he works at one of the best known and highly regarded vacation management companies in West Hawaii AND he is a fantastic wealth of knowledge for investment real estate.
During out interview I asked Kyle a variety of questions and he answered some of these pressing questions and more!
- Where are the best locations and types of real estate to invest in on Hawaii Island?
- Where are places to avoid?
- How can you use an Ohana/ADU to help afford a home in Hawaii?
- What are the STVR (Short Term Vacation Rental) rules to know?
- Should you consider leasehold land?
Let us know if you have more questions and we can do a follow up interview soon!
