Hawaii Property Management Costs
How much do property managers charge in Hawaii?
Property management fees can range from 25 to 35% of the gross monthly rent depending on the location of your home and the current market.
Do property managers charge for repairs?
No, property managers will typically facilitate the repairs, but the actual cost of the repairs is at the homeowner's expense. If the scope of any repair is outside the scope of the property management contract, then the Hawaii property manager may charge additional fees.

Financial Questions About Hawaii Real Estate Investment
Is Hawaii a good place to invest in real estate?
Yes, Hawaii is a remote destination and cannot expand; thus the current inventory of Hawaii real estate is highly sought after among buyers.
Are Hawaii vacation rentals good investments?
Hawaii vacation rentals make a stable asset for real estate investors and have the potential to build wealth. Benefits include earning passive income, enjoying your own getaway, tax benefits, and home appreciation. Currently, occupancy rates at Hawaii vacation rentals are outperforming those in hotels across the state.
How much profit can I expect to make on my Hawaii vacation rental property?
A 6 to 10% return on investment would be considered a successful vacation rental. However, if you want to use the home as a vacation home, covering your maintenance and management expenses might be sufficient.
More About Hawaii Vacation Rentals & Logistics
Are Airbnb rentals legal in Hawaii?
Yes, Airbnb rentals are legal in Hawaii. However, each island has specific zoning laws that dictate whether the property can be used legally as a short-term or long-term rental.
Can I convert my short-term Hawaii vacation rental into a long-term or long stay vacation rental property?
Yes, as long as it's within the legislative guidelines, you can convert your Hawaii short-term vacation rental property to a long stay rental property. Please consult with us on how best to go about this. We'd be happy to advise your about the best options for your Hawaii property and your unique needs.
