Canadian Financing at Honua Kai Resort with 30% Down Payment

I think Canadian citizens will be very pleased to discover that for well qualified borrowers, financing a purchase at the Honua Kai Resort and Spa in Ka’anapali, Maui can be done with as little as 30% down payment. This should be music to the ears of many as most banks require Canadian investors to put down between 35%-40% for their purchases.

Enjoy spacious kitchens available in all Honua Kai units – experience different shades of granite work, solid hardwood cabinetry, and most are equipped with Bosch stainless appliance with the exception of select two bedroom and three bedroom suites which are equipped with Viking appliances.

US Loan Programs Similar to Canadian Financing

• 5/1 ARMS
• 7/1 ARMS
• 10/1 ARMS

These loans are named by the length of time the interest rate remains fixed and how often the interest rate is subject to adjustment thereafter. For example, in a 5/1 ARM, the “5” stands for a 5-year introductory period in which the interest rate remains fixed. The “1” shows the interest rate is subject to adjustment once per year after the introductory period expires.

All rates are subject to change and because I don’t have a mortgage license I can’t quote rates, but I can tell you that they are extremely attractive and are among the lowest rates you will have ever seen US Banks offer Canadian investors.

There has been over $1 Billion invested from Canada in Hawaii Real Estate in the last 8 years. The dollars invested from Canada alone far outweighs the combined figures from all of the other countries in the world combined.

High Percentage of Canadian Investment at Honua Kai

When I last ran my numbers, I determined that about 18% of the owners at Honua Kai are Canadian citizens-predominantly from B.C. and Alberta, but there are provinces like Ontario also represented.

Other foreign countries also represented at Honua Kai albeit at a much lower incidence are: Ireland, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. I will be working on a more detailed blog about what states, countries, and owner demographics are at Honua Kai so please stay tuned.

Testimonials from Canadian Honua Kai Buyer Clients

Please read what Paul and Colleen McElligott of Vancouver, BC had to share about their working experience with my team. Canadian Couple From Vancouver B.C. Purchase a 3 Bedroom Honua Kai Unit for $1,900,000.

Here is what Peter and Tracy Konidis of Ontario have shared about their working experience thus far as they will be closing on a two bedroom unit in the near future:

Jeremy,

I want to thank you for everything that you have done thus far for my wife and I. I am so glad that I viewed your website and eventually contacted you. I have built my entire career on providing timely responses to my clients questions and concerns. You have definitely mastered this art.

I must admit that it’s a bit scary considering the purchase of real estate without being there to view things. You have gone out of your way in answering all of our questions. You have a good contact list of bankers and property managers that you were able to connect me with.

The information that I was able to obtain was exactly what I was looking for. I can’t tell you enough how important the videos were that you sent us. No request or question went unanswered. When my wife was concerned about the direction the condo was facing and what type of sunlight we could expect, you quickly went to the property and sent us a video of the location of the sunrise and sunset. In fact, you took the video from the unit across from the one we were considering to give us a better prospective.

The extra mile that you took in servicing us has meant a lot to us. That extra mile has allowed us to feel 100% confident in our decision to purchase a unit at Honua Kai. Thanks again for everything!!

-Peter and Tracy Konidis-
