Kailua, Oʻahu

Private lending in Kailua

Kailua is the windward side's flagship town, and renovated homes here command some of the strongest prices on Oʻahu. Buyers pay for finish quality, indoor-outdoor living and proximity to Kailua Beach.

Flips in Kailua succeed on design. A dated 1960s home with a fresh open plan, new roof and modern kitchen routinely sells for several hundred thousand more than its purchase price.

Housing stock

Post-war single-level homes on large lots, beachside cottages, Enchanted Lake and Lanikai premium inventory.

Oʻahu rules that affect Kailua 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.

FAQ

Kailua questions

Straight answers. If yours is not here, call 808-523-2000 and talk to a decision maker.

What ARV do you use for Kailua flips?

Recent sales of comparably renovated homes in the same neighborhood, adjusted for lot size and view. Kailua comps are plentiful, which makes valuation reliable.

How fast can you close a hard money loan on Oʻahu?

For a straightforward purchase with clear title we typically close within 15 business days of retainer, and often faster. Our office is in Honolulu, so property visits, document signing and recording all happen locally.

Do you lend on Oʻahu leasehold condos?

Yes. We evaluate remaining lease term, lease rent renegotiation dates and the fee conversion status. Many Waikīkī and Makiki leaseholds are financeable when the numbers work.
