No, unfortunately the military does not cover rental cars. You can put the cost on your government travel card but you will be responsible for paying that part of the balance off.

It feels like at least once a month my husband and I take his truck and head to the airport to grab bags and people to get them to the hotel (which we absolutely don't mind)! Ideally though if you think you will need assistance please let me know the day and time your flight lands so I can put it on my calendar.

YES, YES, YES!! I can not stress this one enough! I can send along some examples showing you some actual dollar amounts my clients have made after only owning homes here for 3 years!!

This is an important one to understand…you don’t start getting any Hawaii related money (BAH, COLA, Per Diem, TLA) until you sign in. Once you sign in the service member will need to start in processing the following Monday (in processing only starts in Mondays so if you get here in the middle of the week they will have a few free days offJ) You CAN NOT come here on leave, sign in and stay on leave…once the service member signs in they will be expected to start in processing the following Monday. If you stay on leave and don’t sign in you will not be refunded for any expenses.

I work with several fantastic lenders that can have you in your new home in as little as 30 days! Remember when buying a home, you get 60 days of TLA!

The short answer is no, likely not. While “days on market” (the number of days it takes for a house to go under contract once for sale) does fluctuate it normally hovers between 14 and 30 days or less.

YES, and becoming more so every day! Homes with solar panels (also called PV panels) are becoming more and more common and adding them really gives the resale value a nice bump!! There are many programs to include “Green Loans” which have 2 years NO PAYMENTS AND NO INTEREST making it very easy and affordable to get PV! In addition to this there are also tax benefits for adding PV to your new home! *I just got them on my house (November of 2018) and am happy to speak with you more about the process if you have any questions.

It’s not a secret that interest rates are higher now than they were 2 years ago, but what most people fail to realize is that today’s rates are still MUCH lower than what interest rates where when our parents were buying their first homes in the 80's and early 90's. My parents bought their first home in 1982 and paid 13% interest WITH good credit! wow, right!

If a property is labeled as “leasehold” it means that you would not own the land the home sits on. You have to pay an additional lease for it.

With military orders you only need to be 18 to rent a vehicle. Just be sure to bring the orders with you when you go to get the car.
