Buying a condo in Hawaii is buying a slice of paradise—but without the right knowledge, it can come with unexpected financial nightmares. In this video, I break down exactly what you need to look for before signing on the dotted line for a Hawaii condominium.

Navigating Hawaii’s specific Condominium Property Act (HRS 514B) requires expertise. With over two decades of experience guiding clients through the real estate market, I’m sharing the critical red flags that most buyers ignore. We cover:

• Why a Reserve Study is the “check engine light” of a building
• The danger of underfunded HOAs (and why you should run if it’s under 10% funded)
• How special assessments happen and who pays for them
• The power of the HOA “Super-Priority Lien” and foreclosure risks
• How to use the Condominium Education Trust Fund to resolve board disputes cheaply through mediation

Whether you are a local resident looking for your first home or an overseas investor securing a piece of Honolulu real estate, knowing the rules of the game protects your asset.
