Is there still a market for flipping homes on Oahu? Does it depend on if its a condo or home,?

Asked Tue Aug 21 2007, 01:05 by Cy - Honolulu - Foreclosure - 7 answers

Jim S answered:

seems like there were/are some very bright people on this post. I grew up on Oahu and have lived the island twice. I made some money in Makaha and the N Shore. Any idea when the market will turn around? I read the Bankoh economic reports and they say 2013-2015. Would that be a safe guess?
Im stuck with a couple of rentals that I didn't unload in time and Im playing the waiting game. - Wed May 21 2008, 21:06

Rob Gerichs is a very wise man!!!!!!!!!!

I flipped on Oahu for two years and did well and seen other fail miserably. - Wed May 21 2008, 21:01

John

Thanks, I spoke with Pointe West. I appreciate it.

I'd love to have one more property manager to talk to before I make a decision.

Anyone else out there know of a good property manager in Boulder?

Thanks. - Mon Mar 31 2008, 21:19

Are you a "awesome property manager"? - Sat Mar 29 2008, 21:31

Jim S answered:

Thanks, I appreciate the validation. I would tend to agree - I am still going to talk to this guy and see where this leads but I am not going in blind and ignorant. I did question his proposition. I heard about the legislation but I don't think anything has passed yet. They are too busy figure out who the next joker will be that's going to lead our country. - Wed Mar 12 2008, 19:50

Tarentum Crawford Run Road - Is this a good area to buy?

Asked Wed Feb 6 2008, 18:53 by Jim S - Tarentum - Home Buying - 7 answers

Jim S answered:

Well, you could be right. It's my experience that the lower priced areas either come back strong or they fade away. Tarentums a cute town, fairly low violent crime. I pulled some stats downs off of yahoo realtor and it shows a nice steady gradual climb for the last 10 years and a sudden strong dip about the time of the subprime meltdown (nothing abnormal to the rest of the world). I have to just figure out if it's possible to keep a rental occupied. - Sat Feb 9 2008, 09:27

Michael:

Thank you very much for the interesting feedback but Im still not clear on where the people went. I checked two different websites that showed the town lost 400 people over 5 years. Are you saying they left because they did not like the mall???

Thanks,

Thanks, this house is in Tarentum. I checked population stats on this town and in the year 2000 it looked like it had a population of about 5000 and in 2007 I think the population was about 4600. At this rate the town will be dead in about 12 years. A buddy of mine owns a place in this town and he wants to raise some cash but I dont want to do the deal if the town is slowly vanishing. Any thoughts on that? Thank you so much. - Fri Feb 8 2008, 21:15
