1031 of the Week-Kihei Inn

It has been a while since I have posted a 1031 of the week property. However, a new listing on the Maui MLS caught my eye today. This hotel zoned property in Kihei has 6 total units. There are four one bedroom bath units downstairs and a three bedroom/two bath unit and an additional one bedroom/one bath unit upstairs. Additional features include a pool and a common area laundry. The property is being run as a successful Inn. It is one block from Sugar Beach and proximate to Kihei’s windsurfing area. This could be an interesting property for someone who would want to be an owner operator. They could live on site in one of the apartments. Buyers could also have it managed by an off site manager and maximize the number of rooms.

This property is listed through Maui Estate Properties for $1,895,000. The Jalbert brothers may represent you as buyer’s agents. Contact us today for additional information or to have us arrange a showing.

1031 of the Week-Cute Hana Home

Traditionally, our featured 1031 properties have been listings that offer some sort of income potential. This week’s property is not a great income property as much as it is a good potential vacation home. For some the idea of the perfect Maui second home is a condo on the beach, others are looking for something a little more off the beaten path. Maui residents and visitors alike love to get away to Hana. Its slower pace of life and drop dead gorgeous scenery make it a great place to escape the rat race. The second home options are relatively limited though. Occasionally, you will see a studio or one bedroom for sale at the Hana Kai Maui. The Hotel Hana Maui Condominiums offer an opportunity for upscale buyers. There is very little in between. This cute little two bedroom/one bath home is a unique opportunity for someone who wants a second home in Hana fills that gap. The cute home is situated in a fantastic location in Hana. It is a short walk to Venus Pool and a short drive to Hamoa Beach. This home is listed through Realty West Ltd. for $450,000. The Jalbert brothers may represent you as buyer’s agents.

1031 of the Week-Puamana

This week’s 1031 of the week does not focus on a specific condominium unit or a specific home. Rather, I wanted to take a look at one of West Maui’s more popular vacation rental condos. I recently went to Puamana Beach Park just South of Lahaina for an evening stand up paddle. There were small waves, but the late afternoon and evening skies could not have been much more beautiful. While I was waiting for the sets of waves to come in, I had a nice vantage point looking towards the shore line. Just to the north of the beach park are the Puamana condominiums. I was thinking to myself, you could not find a much better example of ocean and beachfront condominium living in Maui. A number of the condo lanai featured gatherings of people barbecuing and taking in the sunset. Many of the palm trees along the shore line had hammocks strung between them. With views of the sunset, the neighbor islands, the gentle waves and the beautiful Pacific, this is the type of setting that has made Maui such a popular destination.

If you are looking to 1031 into a second home or vacation rental, Puamana is worthy of consideration. The complex is low density with 230 units in 60 one and two story buildings on approximately 30 acres. The aforementioned views are certainly a draw. Other amenities include beautiful grounds, old Hawaii charm, oceanfront pool and proximity to the activities, restaurants and entertainment of Lahaina Town.. Contact the Jalbert brothers today for additional information on Puamana.
