- Does anyone know if the appraised value of a condo in a high rise is higher with each floor you go up or lower? I've heard the sword cuts both
  Answer by Frank Diaz, MBA, RA: Hi Jim, Simply, yes. An end-unit 1-bedroom on the 8th floor will slightly higher than the 7th floor. I have seen it vary from 1/2 to 1%. The taller the building, the less variance between floors. However, the ocean view on the same floor will command a much higher premium; that is an ocean view 8th floor will be much more than […]
- can I rent this apt? how much?
  Answer by Frank Diaz, MBA, RA: Hi Yan, If you would like to rent this apartment, you will want to search online ads for "Ala Wai Manor", or "McCully Waikiki." That is the name and area of the building. Rent averages about $1600/month in this building. As far as I know, Trulia does not post ad rentals, so you would have to look somewhere e […]
- Are there any pet-friendly property management companies in Honolulu?
  Answer by Frank Diaz, MBA, RA: Hi Bamboo, I often look for rentals for clients, although I don't handle any rentals myself. You have a some obstacles: 1. You won't find a 2 BR for $1600 with utilities in this area, or in the Metro area (from Chinatown to Hawaii Kai) 2. Pet friendly buildings are getting very scarce, probably less than 5% of all ren […]
- our association has bought a unit. there are renters in it the lease agreement is to be honored . do we collect the rent?
  Answer by Frank Diaz, MBA, RA: Hi Steve, That's a tricky one. You have to consult the attorney for your AOAO. The lease is not with you, it is with the previous owner, and presumably it was foreclosed on. Since the lease is "in limbo" the question is - who owns the lease? Your management company can guide you on this, that's part of their […]
- I am relocating for a job in Mililani. I am from NY and looking for some resources to help with housing. I will be moving with my boyfriend and dog.
  Answer by Frank Diaz, MBA, RA: Hi Merre, Renting or buying? Home, townhome or condo? Price range? There are a number of questions that will smooth your transition here. Those will narrow down your search by 90%. I caution you to avoid Craigslist postings until the owner of the home can be verified. In the meantime, here are the rules for pets: http://www.haw […]
