Are you interested in some investment opportunities in Hawaii real estate?  Some of my clients are interested in selling their homes in Hawaii to an investor because there is a tenant already in place.  For example, one home in the Ewa Gentry subdivision of Sonoma/Prescott is currently rented for $3,000 per month and will sell for around 615k.  With a 20-25% downpayment on an investor loan, that would be an immediate, positive cash flow.  Better yet is the fact that I manage these properties and I could continue to manage it for you.

If you are in the military and are considering purchasing a home in Hawaii, this might be a great opportunity for you to do that.  With the historically low interst rates on VA loans in Hawaii, the high BAH rates and the shortage of rental properties, there is no better time to be an owner/seller/landlord/investor.  I also manage rental properties and I have ZERO available.  All of my rental properties are currently occupied yet my phone continues to ring daily with calls from Service Members that are looking for homes to rent.

For more information on purchasing a home in Hawaii, selling a home in Hawaiii or how you can use your BAH to build wealth for yourself, contact David Kucic, First Sergeant Retired, President/O
