DAY 15/100: 5 RED FLAGS WHEN VIEWING A CONDO IN WAIKIKI

Ever toured a Waikiki condo that felt...off? 🧐 Here are 5 red flags every buyer should watch out for:

1️⃣ Signs of water damage (stains, bubbling paint, musty smell)
2️⃣ High HOA fees with unclear breakdowns
3️⃣ Bad parking situation (far from unit, not deeded, extra cost)
4️⃣ Excessive noise (thin walls, busy street, loud neighbors)
5️⃣ HOA with lots of rules or frequent special assessments

Don't get caught by surprise—DM me if you want a walkthrough or have questions!

Day 13/100: How Are Property Values *Really* Decided? 🏡✨

It’s not just the “Zillow estimate”—here’s what REALLY goes into a home’s value in Hawaii:

🏝️ Location (Beachfront? Close to Ala Moana? That matters.)

🔑 Size & layout (More bedrooms and parking = 💸)

🛠️ Upgrades & condition (Renovated kitchen? Cool AC? Cha-ching!)

💡 Market (Are homes selling FAST, or sitting?)

🤝 Comparable sales (What did your neighbor’s place SELL for?)

Ultimately, buyers decide the final price, but nailing these factors means $$$ in your pocket.
