Really enjoy your videos and message. We live in CA and yes, like many, we are educating ourselves on the “process” of looking, moving etc. Silly question as I currently pay HOA where I live today, however some of the HOA fees advertised in some of areas are in the OMG territory. I know it’s not cheap to maintain a complex, but why so high? One area in near Kamuela it was $1700/mo.

Aloha Darlen! Thanks for watching, and your kind words as well. Educating yourselves to the Hawaii real estate market is the smartest part of the "process", so kudos to you for taking the right steps. HOA's, especially in condominium complexes, can be quite high depending upon the insurance coverage, management fees, and reserve fees. In subdivisions, the HOA dues are based on security, grounds maintenance, road repairs, reserve funds, and in many cases the reported HOA Dues are "Annual", not "Monthly". Feel free to reach out directly at the information in the video description anytime. Mahalo nui! 😎🤙
