DSCR Loan Hawaii

What areas of Hawaii do you serve?

In short, we serve all of Hawaii. However, we keep watch of local trends, and while we are remote, non-local observers, we do have an interesting vantage point due to the deals that come across our desk. Here are some general and more specific observation regarding different, attractive areas of this great island state. Tourism is a major economic driver behind the economic success of Hawaii, with visitor arrivals expected to rise by 4.5% annually over the next 5 years, while population growth is projected to be 2.1% annually for the same period, fueled by mainland migration seeking a better quality of life. To accommodate this jump in permanent and transient population, several infrastructure projects are in the works, which should bolster local real estate valuations.

• Kahului Airport Expansion - To be completed by 2026, with an estimated capacity increase of 20% for incoming tourists.
• Honolulu Rail Transit - Completion date estimated to be 2027. This will improve accessibility within Oahu, potentially creating 1,500 construction jobs annually until completion.
• Kona International Airport Improvement Project - Upgrades expected to be finished by 2025, aiming to handle 10% more incoming flights annually.

Now let's look at specific areas and related zip codes where we see the greatest opportunities for real estate investors.

Oahu (Honolulu, HI) - We expect a steady population growth, with an estimated 30,000 new residents expected in the next 5 years. Tourism (largest employer - various hotels & resorts, total employees: 70,000, projected growth: 5% annually), Government (25,000 employees), Military (40,000 active personnel).

• 96813 (Downtown Honolulu) - High demand for rentals due to proximity to job centers, walkability, and nightlife. Rents could rise by 5-7% annually as new residents and tourists arrive.
• 96821 (McCully/Moiliili) - Established neighborhood with good schools (Moiliili Elementary and Punahou School) and proximity to the University of Hawaii at Manoa (20,000 students). Rents could increase by 3-5% annually due to a shortage of available units.
• 96790 (Ewa Beach) - Developing suburban area with new projects like Hoopili. Improved infrastructure like the proposed Ewa By-Pass Road (completion expected by 2028) could make Ewa Beach more attractive, leading to rent growth of 4-6% annually.

Maui (Kahului, HI) - We expect a moderate growth, with an estimated 15,000 new residents expected in the next 5 years. Tourism (largest employer - various hotels & resorts, total employees: 20,000, projected growth: 3% annually), Healthcare (10,000 employees, projected growth: 4% annually), Retail (15,000 employees, projected growth: 2% annually).

• 96732 (Kahului): The commercial center of Maui with a growing job market, especially near the Maui Business Park. Limited land availability could restrict housing construction, putting upward pressure on rents, with potential increases of 3-4% annually.
• 96761 (Wailea): Upscale resort area with high rental demand due to tourism and luxury accommodations. Rents could remain stable or increase slightly by 1-2% annually as tourism rebounds.
• 96753 (Kihei): Popular tourist destination with a mix of vacation rentals and long-term rentals. Rents could fluctuate based on tourism seasonality (10% difference between peak and low season) but have potential for long-term growth of 1-2% annually.

Big Island (Hilo, HI & Kailua-Kona, HI) - We expect a slow but steady growth with pockets of faster growth in certain areas. The Big Island's population is expected to increase by 10,000 over the next 5 years, with most concentrated in Hilo and Kailua-Kona. Again, tourism is the largest employer with total of 15,000 employees island-wide, with a projected growth of 2% annually, University of Hawaii at Hilo (4,000 students, projected growth: 1% annually), Tech Sector (Kailua-Kona, concentrated in tech startups, current employment: 1,000, projected growth: 10% annually).

• 96720 (Hilo): The largest city on the Big Island with a growing university and innovation center attracting young professionals. Rents might be lower compared to Kona but could rise by 3-4% annually as the economy diversifies.
• 96740 (Kailua-Kona): Major tourist destination with a growing tech sector. Limited land availability, especially near the coast, could restrict housing construction, leading to rent growth of 4-6% annually.
• 96743 (Captain Cook): Located south of Kailua-Kona, Captain Cook offers a more relaxed atmosphere with potential for future development, especially after the completion of the Kona International Airport Improvement Project. Rents could increase by 2-4% annually as the area becomes more established.
