Happy Veteran's Day to all those who have served!  There may be no other state in the United States where the military culture is more a part of life than in Hawaii.  This may come as a suprise to some, but anyone who has lived here, on Oahu, knows that the military is an integral part of the community and the island economy is dependent upon it.  Military service members and their dependents make up roughly 1/8 to 1/10 of the entire population of the State of Hawaii.  On Oahu, where there are numerous military bases, the percentage of the military population is even higher. On Friday, I attended a Military Appreciation Day celebration and mass at St. Anthony School in Kailua.  This Military Appreciation Day Celebration was made even more special because my husband, who is currently ser...

Here is another fabulous Kailua property that already has struck interest according to the listing agent from Coldwell Banker Pacific Properties. Besides the fact that you are a few blocks away from the most desirable beach in the world, this is an impressive house! It is listed for $988,800, a four bedroom, 2 bath that is updated and spacious with over 1600 square feet interior and 8475 exterior. When you walk into the house, it has a retro feel to it, but as you walk into each room I was impressed with what the seller has done to it. The concrete floors are cool and rustic. The kitchen is upgraded with all the bells and whistles that you would expect. As you enter the master, that is when you become even more impressed with the work has been done. The openness of the room gives it a n...

Getting a Legitimate Lender and Getting Pre-Approved It used to be that buyers could go house shopping and when they have found their dream home, then they go to get pre-approved. However, in today’s market, that has proven to be one of the least effective methods in landing the dream home. Most lenders can pre-qualify you for a mortgage over the phone. Based on general questions about your income, debt, assets, and credit history, lenders can estimate how much mortgage you qualify for. However, being pre-qualified and pre-approved are different things. Pre-approval means that you have applied for a mortgage; you have filled out the mortgage application, received your credit report, and verified your employment, assets, etc. When you are pre-approved, you know exactly what the maximum l...

Did you know that you can rent out the Kalama Beach Club even if you are not a member?  This beach front club located at 280 North Kalaheo Avenue has ample parking and is a full 3 acres.  They even have the capability to cook your food in their imu.  The website seems to have several links that are non functioning and the rates published are from 2005.  This Beach Club membership initially was doled out to homeowners in the Kalama Tract subdivision however many owners have not kept up their dues.  The subdivision was initially developed from Land inherited by Queen Kalama.  The subdivision was the first in Kailua and was initiated in 1925 and named in honor of the Queen.
