Neat - thanks of sharing that. Hope it is still there this weekend when I am Waikiki.

Surprised it fit through the Ballard locks. Thanks for sharing that.

Hi @VanOlove - I am a fan of Discovery Bay but the building cannot legally do short term vacation rental units. Only 30 day stays or longer are permitted. Thank you for the comment and for watching me channel.

I had no idea - thanks for the comment and for watching my channel

Yes, those units have great lanais to enjoy the beautiful Hawaiian weather - thanks for watching.

Aloha @gregh7457 - mahalo nui loa for sharing that info.

Hi Mr. Poon, Many thanks and for our grand opening, for our first 10 new clients, we are offering a 15% management fee for the life on the contract. Our normal fee will be 20%. Our goal is to be the #1 service provider on O'ahu. Thank you for watching my channel

No, the heading is accurate. Thee is a $32.5M new listing in this episode.

Ha - big congrats to you. And I just saw you also received a $20k concession - wow, you really got a great deal on that unit. Wish you much success with it. And thank you for watching my channel. Aloha

Yes, I agree. Thanks for watching and enjoy the water.

Yes, some of the nicest on the island. Thanks for watching.

Yes, it is a great place to live. Enjoy the tours tomorrow and contact me anytime if I can be of value to you in your home search.

Aloha @naludog8087 - (love the name) - thanks for the comment and glad to read you like the housing. You also been happy with your R5C?

Hi @jimmeuer1 - glad you liked the site and thanks for the comment. Hope life is going well for you. Still working in real estate?

@@enjoylivinginhawaii yes, still in real estate. Got into some AI development too.

Hi Henry, that is correct. To be clear, that includes taxes and cleaning fees. Email me if you'd like to see the financials. In 2002, most months were between $5500-$6500. For 2023, I just have Jan - April financials, but in Jan in did over $8400 and in March over $7400. For Feb it did close to $5k and for first 3 weeks of April, it had earned about $4700.

Hi @michellemevans3213 - thanks for watching my video and neat you were able to see the place you grew up. Aloha

Hi @weizhongli280 - please email me at [email protected] and I will send you information regarding the rental restrictions and policies for a short term vacation rental at the Ritz. Thank you for watching my channel.

Yes, very sad at what happened in Lāhainā - and very disappointed by the local, state and Federal gov't response and just shows the importance of ones ʻOhana. A tragedy and for all the locals who lost property and need financial support to rebuild, I hope the public and private sector provides all the funds to quickly rebuild at no cost to the victims. For this who lost loved ones, my heart goes out to them. But why give a thumbs down to people playing polo? Perhaps some or all of them have provided support to the victims - do you know? Seems unfair to quickly dismiss a group of people without even knowing who they are as individuals and perhaps they have done many positive things in their lives to help others. You're potentially missing out on knowing some wonderful people in your life by being so quick to judge.

Hi Diana - unfortunately no parking onsite. But there is parking available for rent in the immediate area. Thanks for watching my video and happy to answer any other questions you have.

Hi Henry - depends on management company. Currently management company charge 18%. Most full service vacation management companies charge 18-25%. However, I do know one company that charges 10%. I don't have income statements yet of this unit, but I'll email you income statements for a few other units in the building that show 2023 nightly rates ranging from approximately $115 - $135.

Hi Luke, perhaps you didn't watch the follow up video I made. I sent in the housing to Aquatech and they replaced the latch on the housing that I was having problems with and they acknowledged it was loose - I have that in writing from them. Does that answer your question? And thus far, my Salty housing has worked great. I've only used these two brands of housing, but based on experience, I have to say Salty's is the best.

Thanks for watching and for the comment - made me happy. Wish you well with your photo/video journey.

Yes - he is great. Thanks for the comment and for watching. Enjoy Hawaii

All yours for $16k/mo - hope all is well

Hi - property manager hasn't finalized the rental listing yet. I'll provide the link in the video description once it is available. Thanks for watching my channel.

Hi Henry - that has not been determined yet. I'll follow up with you once the property manager informs me what the rate will be. Thanks for watching.

Hi Henry - just learned they are going to start marketing it at $16/mo.

Glad you liked - it was a neat thing to see in person. Nice of Mario and Michelle to bring those lanterns.

Hi, please see this link: vacations.hawaiilife.com/vacation-rentals/bird-paradise Thanks for watching my channel

Hi Isablla - glad you found the info helpful. Just an FYI - Aquatech redesigned their housing and it may have improved so you might want to consider it though I've never used it or personally know anyone who has. Thanks for watching my video and enjoy the water - aloha

Hi, you can use conventional financing to acquire a unit in this building. If you'd like a referral to a local lender, just let me know. Thank you for watching.

yes quite a few condo associations on O'ahu do not want to allow short term rentals for their building. When you bought your unit, if the realtor or the seller told you that you can legally do nightly rentals (and you have it in writing) and this information turned out to be incorrect, I recommend you get legal advice.

@@enjoylivinginhawaii my community CCR rules regarding occupancy were changed from 30 day minimum to 180 days.. which is way beyond reasonable .. When I bought the place , it was in black and white in print 30 days minimum …but the board changed it to 180 days. Seems unconstitutional. Regarding the new law 41 ( not voted in by residents ) The Honolulu mayor and city counsel are being sued by the realtors board for trying to increase the limit from 30 to 90 days rental period minimum for ANY property on the island . Federal Judge Watson has blocked the new law 41 and will allow the lawsuit to play out in court. The Bay Area is in even worse shape and NIMBY’s are everywhere. Oahu is much better at providing more housing.. but it does not have to do this by infringing upon property owners rights.

Hi Henry, please email me: [email protected]. The answer to your question varies on the building and unit - I'll email you some info. Thanks for watching
