Add this to:
Hawaii is a fine location. The Big Island has the best options.
While homes in Hawaii and feeling the effects of the housing crisis, beach front homes are still very very expensive. The best thing to do, no matter where in the US you are looking, is to go to and get ideas for what prices are.
Once you’ve settled on an area, you would hire a real estate agent.
Actually Hawaii is not so bad right now. If you really want reasonable and a tropical climate try Florida or almost anywhere on the Gulf Coast.
Miami or Miami Beach are your best bet. You will be living in a tropical climate, and if you are from South America, you are only a few hours away by plane, from Europe about 8 or 9 hours depending on where in Europe. You have a multicultural setting, and you can even have an beach home on an island, like Key Biscayne, or Miami Beach, yet you can be on mainland in less than 5 minutes drive. for more information,
Hawaii;
since i am doing this, and have researched it for 1 yr, I have data for you.
a; infrastructure is different in Hawaii than on the mainland; Specifically, in most cities,
[or villages-each island has only ONE legal city] you may have to set up water
via [catching water from rain] as many cities have no such thing as a water department
or sewage department [u will need septic also]
b; Hawaii has a rare NON automatic access law. IT is possible to buy a home and
not get permission to get to it! Thus, the essential need to see the rights of access your
lot has.
c; Because of native Hawaiians and their religions, it is feasible that under some circumstances
a group of Hawaiians could visit your backyard for a religious celebration and you could not
stop them.
d; IF you found minerals in your backyard [however discovered] they belong to the state.
e. YOU need to have a safety plan–instead of fires, or earthquakes or floods……..or?
you need to have a plan in case of lava–from above or on the ground.
f; when you find a great home, Hawaiian sellers are not required to tell you that they
have a long lease–they are permitted to hide the fact and you have to find it out yourself.
g; instead of a title firm and county recorder, Hawaii has title firms and LAND COURT.
h. Things in many cases can be a bit covertly racist, depending on where you shop and
when.
I am considering the big island so that I do not feel like i am stuck to my neighbor
and on the big island, the rain fall is HUGELY different
Kona–on the west side, is much dryer than Hilo. And Hilo doesn’t just get wet, it
gets rained on pretty much 1-2 hours every mid morning of the year.
I am visiting it 3 more times and visiting possible homes before I make an offer. I will gladly
msn chat or email discoveries I have made.
I was going to get a RE broker’s license [have one for AZ] but their licensing laws to me
are very absurd.
