Using a fix and flip loan on Molokaʻi
Hawaiʻi flippers face a unique problem: inventory is scarce, competition is fierce, and the best deals go to the buyer who can close fastest. Our fix and flip loans are built for that reality. We fund the purchase and the renovation on one loan, sized to the finished value of the property.
Molokaʻi is a rural island with roughly seven thousand residents, no traffic lights and a strong community preference for local, long-term ownership. Real estate transactions are few, and most conventional lenders have little appetite for them.
Where this loan works best on Molokaʻi
- Kaunakakai. The island's town center and the most liquid residential market.
- Kaluakoʻi and Maunaloa. West-end condos and lots with second-home demand.
- East End (Kawela to Hālawa). Oceanfront and ag parcels, construction and land loans.
- Hoʻolehua. Hawaiian Home Lands area; limited private lending eligibility.
Molokaʻi specifics we underwrite
Thin transaction volume means comps are sparse. We rely on local relationships and on-island inspection rather than automated valuations.
Some Kaluakoʻi resort condos are leasehold. Hawaiian Home Lands leases are not eligible for private lending. Fee simple homes in Kaunakakai and the east end are our primary Molokaʻi collateral.

Molokaʻi fix and flip loans questions
Straight answers. If yours is not here, call 808-523-2000 and talk to a decision maker.
How much of the rehab do you fund?
Up to 80% of the repair budget, released in draws as work is completed and inspected.
What is ARV and how do you calculate it?
After-repair value is what the finished property will sell for. We use recent sales of comparable renovated homes in the same neighborhood, adjusted for size, condition and lot.
Do I need flipping experience?
Experience helps but is not required. A strong deal, a realistic budget and a qualified contractor can substitute for a track record.
Do you really lend on Molokaʻi?
Yes. We are one of very few lenders who do. We size loans conservatively and plan for longer marketing periods on exit.
What loan-to-value do you offer on Molokaʻi?
Typically 50% LTV, with higher leverage considered for strong projects with a clear long-term rental or owner-occupant exit.
