If you love visiting Hawaii, then chances are you have dreamt about how you could live here, or at least spend more time than just the occasional vacation. But how can you do it without breaking the bank?

In our 30+ years of real estate on the Big Island of Hawaii, we have worked with many folks who have bought a property here and mitigated a large portion of the cost by using it as a vacation rental when they are not using it themselves. Plus, in many cases, they gain equity in the property the longer they own it, and make a profit when they sell.

Imagine having your own place in Hawaii, where you can escape to any time you please (no more long, cold winters!). You can purchase a vehicle to drive while you’re here, saving on expensive rental car costs. And you can leave clothes, toiletries and other necessities at your property, so all you have to do is hop on a plane and come!

Here are some other benefits and things to consider about owning a Hawaii vacation rental:

• Many properties are sold turn-key, with furniture, dishes and linens included. All you have to do is walk in and relax.
• Each of the resort properties offer a unique set of amenities, such as discounted golf, pools, spas, tennis courts, BBQ areas, and gathering spaces.
• As an owner, you are in complete control of when you or family and friends use the property.
• When you are not using your property, you can close it up or use a property manager to oversee it as a vacation rental.
• There are potential tax benefits to owning, improving and visiting the property (discuss these with your tax advisor).
