Units are one bedroom and one bath, just over 600 square feet with lanais and varying locations, views, and upgrades. There are three pools on the property as well as a putting green and shuffleboard.

On-site management for vacation rentals is offered from Best Western, though you may also choose off-site management for long term or vacation rentals. There are also owner occupied units within the project.

Based on advertised rates and current long term rentals, these units are likely to rent long term for $1200 - $1300.

Maintenance fees are approximately $600 per month and include: water, trash, exterior maintenance and care (pools, landscape, etc), basic cable, applicable exterior insurance (excluding interior, contents, and liability)

Bank Sales on Kauai REOs

BANK SALES, REOs on KAUAI

Aloha! The most commonly requested search these days is the one for Bank Sales… below my signature is an updated list of featured bank sale offerings, also known as REOs or "Real Estate Owned".

There are many nuances to a bank sale and it is important to note that essentially the only decisions the buyers get to make are what day they will make their offer and how much the initial offer will be… after that, the bank takes over with their terms, timelines, restrictions, disclosures, addenda, rules and regulations.

You may click the BANK SALE link to the right for detailed information regarding writing offers on bank owned properties, but here is a quick summary:

For a successful bank sale offer, it is important to know that the banks will not pay for termite inspections, survey, staking, condo or subdivision documents and general items that are usually at Seller's cost. Also, inspection periods are short, often 7 days but occasionally 10 and properties are sold "As Is" without a Sellers Disclosure.

To write an offer on a bank sale, you will need to be pre-qualified or pre-approved by a lender, provide verification of cash funds, and provide a copy of a check on the day of the offer. Offers that do not have these elements will not be submitted for consideration.

Despite the drawbacks and the seeming loss of control, in exchange many buyers are able to purchase these properties for great prices, often below current market value, though rarely more than 5-10% under asking price.

I have included an update chart below. The MLS # is an active link to details for the listing like description, square footage, current annual taxes, and monthly maintenance fees.

Please do not hesitate to call or email if you have additional questions or would like additional information.

Mahalo, Jamie
