My Favorite Hawaii Kai Marina Front Home Communities: Anchorage

Anchorage, a waterfront community in Hawaii Kail was built in the 1980s. Of the roughly 108 homes located here, most all of them border the water. Most of the homes are large, from roughly 2,100 square feet to more than 4,000 square feet and were built on large 7,000 to 10,000 square foot lots, leaving plenty of room for pools and large lanais.

Most of these marina front homes have a private dock, so boat owners can enjoy easy access to the inner bay and canals as well as to the ocean.

Can a landlord collect Honolulu Westloch Oahu rent 7 months in advance?

Recently a potential Westloch tenant applicant approached me to offer 7 months advanced rent if we gave them a $100+ (one hundred dollar) discount on the monthly rent. the owner wanted me to accept the offer, thinking that was a nice bulk sum to collect!

After research, I had to show the owner the Hawaii Revised Statutes HRS531-44 which, in summary, states "The landlord may NOT require or receive from or on behalf of a tenant at the beginning of a rental agreement, any money other than the money for the forst month's rent and a security deposit as provided in this section. The security deosit shall not be construed as payment of the LAST month's rent by the tenant.....

The above is for residential real estate with rentals up to one year. For commercal leases, there are often different laws that apply. If you want to know more details, review the statutes or consult a legal professional. If you need someone on Oahu to handle your single family home rental management, then contact Bruce.

Maui Hawaii South Shore Condo Listings Newsletter - March 2012

I have noticed a dramatic decrease in new condo listings this past month which could be the start of lower inventory. But I see from the February statistics that sales volume is down compared to last year at this same time, so maybe it will all even out. Time will tell. Let's take a look at what is actually selling. Listed below are any sales and pending sales from the past 29 days in the Kihei Wailea and Maalaea areas.

Better Place of Hawaii recently held a demonstration of their new electric car charging station in Kihei. The public was encouraged to come out and test drive a Chevy Volt or Nissan Leaf, to support the growing trend of these more environmentally friendly cars on the island. Better Place of Hawaii has invested in a number of charging stations on Maui and the other Hawaiian islands, including one outside of Foodland on South Kihei Road. With membership, electric car owners can now charge their cars for free through the end of the year, while a pricing structure is determined.
