Hawaiʻi Kai is East Oʻahu's marina community, with a mix of waterfront homes, hillside view lots and some of the island's last leasehold single family tracts. Renovation quality drives a wide ARV spread here.
We finance high-end flips, fee conversions on leasehold homes and bridge loans for buyers trading up within the neighborhood.

Oʻahu rules that affect Hawaiʻi Kai deals
Honolulu allows accessory dwelling units up to 800 square feet on residential lots that meet minimum size and parking requirements, and recent ordinances expanded where a second unit is permitted. ADU construction loans on Oʻahu are one of our fastest growing products.
Oʻahu carries the largest leasehold inventory in Hawaiʻi, especially in Waikīkī, Makiki and Salt Lake condos and in older Kāhala and Hawaiʻi Kai tracts. We lend on leasehold when the remaining lease term comfortably outlasts the loan and the lease rent schedule is known.
