Aloha Zasha,  Thank you for carrying the ball this month,  I would be able to attend but 1 pm would be better for me.  If this time works let me know, I will try and stop by either way.

Aloha Jon,

Sorry to hear about your situation.  A little bit more of information might help you get a better answer.

1. What Island is it on, and what area?

2. What is the amount owed?

3. How much is the balance owed?

4. Could you live in one of the three units to add loan options or are they all rented and if so what is the monthly rent?

You came to the right spot for information and ideas, there is a wealth of knowledge here.  Good luck, I hope it all works out for you.

Aloha Heneli,

Christian Cramer sets-up and holds a monthly REIA here on Maui you should reach out to him for the date of the next meeting. Good luck with your real estate endeavors I'm sure we will meet up in the near future.

I have four rentals on Maui and have had problems with both mice and rats in the beginning.  I have learned to be proactive with the problem by putting out rat poison blocks around the yard on all four sides of the homes.

You can buy a large bucket of Poison blocks from Home Depot or Lowes for under $25.00, then place them in areas that rats or mice would come from.  I put the blocks in the same locations each time in cinder blocks that are hidden in the foliage.  I check the locations monthly or so when I maintain the yard if the poison blocks are gone I replace them.  

I have been doing this for over ten years and have never seen or had a complaint from a tenant about rats or mice since.  

They obviously  know the three R's

 – reduce, reuse and recycle – all help to cut down on the amount of waste we throw away, Reuse and recycle whatever you can.

Aloha Grin Dominee Alan,  I am also in Maui and would love to meet and talk and see if we could broaden our knowledge and maybe do some business together.  You may want to also reach out to Christian Don Cramer he is also a member of BP and has been organizing a monthly REI meet up every month down in Wailea. Christian is a young real estate agent and very motivated and would be a great resource for you. Good luck in your real estate endeavors, I hope to hear from you.

Aloha Christian, I will try and make it on the 14th.  I look forward to meet you and other like minded people.

Just saw this post, I live in Makawao and would be interested in meeting up.  Let me know when and where.

I'm on Maui and would be interested in meeting to talk about real estate.

First I would say check with your local, county and state laws before you do anything.  I just did one here in Hawaii, I waited till I took possession of the property which I should have not. Here in Hawaii its a three week process with the court system, if I were to do it again I would file the paperwork right away to get the process started. Once I have the court order it was very easy to do with the assistance of the sheriffs. Good luck hope it all works out.
