Using a commercial real estate loan on Maui
Commercial lending in Hawaiʻi runs on relationships and local knowledge. Banks take months and require stabilized income. We fund on the asset and the plan, which lets you close on a vacant building or an under-leased property and reposition it.
Maui combines some of the highest home values in the state with a construction and rebuild pipeline unlike anywhere else in Hawaiʻi. Central Maui towns like Kahului and Wailuku offer workforce housing flips, while Kīhei, Wailea and Kāʻanapali carry resort-grade values.
Where this loan works best on Maui
- Kīhei. Dense condo inventory and single family homes with strong rental demand.
- Kahului and Wailuku. Workforce housing core with older plantation homes ideal for value-add.
- Lahaina and Kāʻanapali. Rebuild construction financing and bridge loans during permitting.
- Makawao, Pukalani and Kula. Upcountry lots and ranch homes, construction and land loans.
- Haʻikū and Pāʻia. North shore ag parcels with ohana unit potential.
Maui specifics we underwrite
Maui prices are resilient because supply is structurally limited. Resort condos trade on cash flow, while upcountry and central Maui homes trade on lifestyle demand from local buyers.
Leasehold is less common on Maui than Oʻahu but appears in some Kīhei and Kāʻanapali condo projects. We evaluate each on remaining term and the lessor's history of fee conversions.

Maui commercial real estate loans questions

Yes, for business-purpose loans on commercial property. Many owner-users bridge with us and refinance into SBA financing.
Do you lend on Maui or only on Oʻahu?
