Preferred Lenders Hawaii (big island)

[Dillan Stoor]

It seems like Hawaii has been a trending topic as of late thanks to Brandon Turner, and well I am just adding to that I suppose. I lived on the big Island in the past and intend to return this year with investment intentions (see other posts for details).

I really like to work with my financing FACE TO FACE and am hoping to find an institution (or person) located on the big island that will be able to help fund my deals. Looking to close on 2-3 multi families and house hack while leaving a good STR in my wake. Properties can need repairs as I self perform all rehabs.

Any referrals or insights would be much appreciated!

I'd suggest giving Marcelle Loren at Island Mortgage a call.  She's a local broker based out of Hawi.  She uses national banks for funding, but has the local knowledge to understand the Hawaii Island market.  She's extremely well known and respected on the big island, and her signature on an approval letter carries some weight with agents and escrow companies.  Plus she's an active RE investor on the island herself, so she knows the particulars of investing on the Big Island very well.

Best of luck,
