Best places to sublet in Oahu for subletters

[Adam Rhodes]

Hello all! New to bigger pockets found this from a Brandon turner book. I’m looking to sublet on Oahu. I currently have a place in pearl city I sublet but it was a lot of convincing for landlord to allow me to do so. My question is does anyone have experience doing this on Oahu and where is the best place to do short term rentals (30 days or more because of laws) also is it better to try to convince larger apartment complex buildings or smaller duplex’s which are managed by owners instead of property managers? Any advice I’d appreciated!

Hi Adam - I recommend trying with smaller "owner managed" properties rather than with property managers.  You'll likely have better success dealing directly with an owner as most property managers will likely be risk averse to subletting - especially in this market.  

And for best areas to do it, I'd focus on areas that are most desirable for tourists and/or locals - these will likely be most lucrative for you.  If you find anything, you're welcome to share with me.  I know of 2 different individuals who are planning to visit O'ahu next couple months and are looking for places to rent.    

Good luck
