Using a leasehold property loan on Lānaʻi
Leasehold is a Hawaiʻi fact of life. Thousands of condos and homes sit on land owned by trusts, estates and corporations, and most banks either refuse them or price them punitively. We have lent on leasehold for over twenty years.
Roughly 98% of Lānaʻi is privately held by a single owner, which makes the island's fee simple residential market in Lānaʻi City one of the most unusual in the United States. Plantation-era homes on small lots change hands rarely, and demand from resort employees and second-home buyers keeps values steady.
Where this loan works best on Lānaʻi
- Lānaʻi City. The only residential town; plantation homes on fee simple lots.
- Mānele. Resort-adjacent luxury lots with limited availability.

Lānaʻi leasehold property loans questions
Straight answers. If yours is not here, call 808-523-2000 and talk to a decision maker.
What lease term do you require?
The remaining term must comfortably exceed the loan term. We prefer 15 or more years remaining but evaluate shorter leases with a strong exit.
Can you finance a fee conversion?
Yes. We fund the purchase of the fee interest, and the resulting fee simple property is easier to sell or refinance.
Do you lend on Lānaʻi?
Yes, on fee simple homes and lots in and around Lānaʻi City. We size conservatively and plan for extended marketing on exit.
How do you value a Lānaʻi property with so few comps?
We combine on-island inspection, recent Lānaʻi City sales, rental demand and replacement cost to arrive at a conservative value.
