This thread/post is just to gauge interest in a property that I own to be sold for one or more of the following payment methods listed below. It is also to document any of the work being done on the property as it is done. Call it a story book.  ;D

UPATED July 17th, 2015 - Please note that I'm still working on the house so some things may be out of place.

THERE ARE TWO ROOMS I DID NOT TAKE PICTURES OF YET AS THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF STUFF INSIDE OF THEM. I'LL TAKE PICTURES OF THOSE ROOMS ONCE I GET A CHANCE TO MAKE IT PRESENTABLE.

Can you give a rough idea, perhaps on a map, where this is located?  Do you accept escrow?  :P

Would you accept some of my lealana coins for trade.  ;D

No seriously good luck.  Wish I was in a crypto postion to offer you something.  Would love a little Hawaiian retreat.

Is it on the flaming edge of Volcano or Pahoa?

That would make me want to move, too.

Can people live in there now or must it be renovated first?

Smoothie, living the island life! Nice!

What island is this property located on? How far from the beach? How far from any trails, state parks, or wild space? Close proximity to any major landmarks (natural or commercial)? Some people like the quiet, some people like the activity. How close are the neighbors on either side and behind you?

Can you share any pics of the inside?

Thanks for entertaining the questions.

It is on the east side of the Big Island of Hawaii.

Yes I will be accepting escrow as do most real estate transactions are done.

http://javaontherock.com/Hawaii/images/big-island-map.jpg



It is within the vicinity of the Kilauea (pu'u o'o vent). Probably a 30-40 min drive.



The house is in a state where someone could live there as of right now. But I wanted to fix some things up to make it more presentable to potential buyers.

This will be documented in this thread for transparency.




Big island.

Few miles from the ocean. From an actual beach it is about 20-30 min to a beach which people swim at.

Lots of trails around. Some are 2 miles away some are 10-20 miles away.

Quiet neighborhood.

Volcano national park is 30-40 min away max.

Lots of wild space around.

Land marks...hmm (not sure what you mean).

There is a neighbor across the street, on one side (the other side is an empty lot), then there are neighbors down the street. These are all 1 acre parcels. The lot directly in the back is empty but there is a lot next to that empty lot that has another neighbor.

It's pretty much a private area in a growing neighborhood.

Probably 10 houses in a 1/4 mile up and down the road the house is on. Friendly neighborhood.

Pics inside will be coming as I get to them. Sorry I am working on the house so I will post them as I get them done and as I get some work done.

Heyyy this is a total message that the universe is lining up and telling me to go to Hawaii  8)
Thx

Cheers smoothie!!

(I am wanting to do grad school out there at some point)

Can we get some pictures of the inside please smoothie? I am always looking to get into new income properties and paying with btc would be fun.

Was hoping for a little more clarity as far as the location. I'd also be interested in hearing the asking price and if you were willing to carry the note on he property.

Asking price I will post in the next week.

As far as carrying a note, the house is for sale in full. I will not carry a note on it. The house is paid for free and clear at this point.

I can get some up but just keep in mind I am working on the house to get it in a better condition. (Painting, touchups, etc.)

Busy day for me today. Probably have pictures up some time tomorrow at the earliest.

What's the ask smoothie?

So long as its not in the path of any potential laval flows, I'd say in general that is some very lovely real estate out there; some would consider the Big Island to be America's last frontier.. (so is Alaska, but Hawaii is much more habitable).

I would totally move out there if my job wasn't tied to a city. Depending on the asking price, it could be a great adventure for somebody. So long as you don't mind being a stranger completely out of your element and subject to the occasional racism (regardless of what race you are.. its really quite fascinating how racism in Hawaii works).

It will be posted in the next few days to a week.

Stay tuned.

The property is out of the path of the lava. People can judge what that means when they see where the property is which I will disclose the general area at the right time.

When the lava was flowing you could see the glow at night if you went to the highway that the lava was approaching. Epic stuff.

Ok what are the comps in the area going for?

I can ask my realtor to make me a list of comps recently sold that are the same size lot and square footage in the area.

They made a list for me a few months back but I wouldn't think that would be accurate enough even if I posted it.

Once I have that list I will post it here along with the asking price.

Thank you. I look forward to seeing the pictures.

UPDATED OP with pics.

More will come when I have a chance.

Out of curiosity, did you buy this property from some kind of foreclosure sale (or via a "short sale', or something similar)? I don't think there is anything wrong if you did.

No. bought it from a family member. Tenants moved out recently so just doing some repairs and trying to sell it.

How much were the tenants paying for rent each month?

Good idea getting out of the north american continent. :)

Sent you a pm smoothie.

$1300

This can increase if there are two tenants. One in the main part of the house and one in the down stairs "ohana" housing studio. All that would need to be added is electrical + stove + permit to be rented out separately to a second tenant (assuming the buyer wants to go this route). <-----this is what my realtor told me so don't quote me.


** That tank of water in the pix is CATCHMENT tank. There is no county water. It is all rain water (filtered of course).

Is the deal closed?  ;D

No deal has been made yet.

I'm waiting on the list of comps from my realtor to gauge an accurate asking price.

Smoothie if you can privately pm me your asking price in btc for the property, i am highly interested depending on the price

 Is it easy for someone from the UK to live there and get into the system?

Not sure what you mean by "easy".

I'm sure there is more paperwork than if you were a US citizen. But then again I've never sold real estate to a foreigner.

I have no bias one way or the other. As long as the payment and terms are fulfilled by both parties.

I will be publicly posting the price soon.

Here are the recent comps supplied by my realtor that have sold in the area. Price coming soon along with probably a new thread with terms/conditions/etc.

I knew a superbly talented chick from Keeau who was cute as a button... Moved to Oahu to become a rapper, wonder whatever happened to her...

Anyway, relevancy... yeah for someone who is looking to escape from most literally everything, this is some good, cheap real estate. North of the lava flows. Just be pono with your neighbors and da aina.

Hey Smoothie.

I wrote a lengthy reply asking a few questions then forum went down 30 mins ago.
Good to see the site is as unreliable as it was 6 months ago.
Wonder where all the donation $$ goes.

Anyways I own a few properties here in Aus.. possibly interested in this. Need to find out if Aus citizen can even buy in US, if not we have a way around that.
We just came back from a 3 week holiday to US, last stop was Hawaii for a week
Stayed in waikiki and it was like QLD here in AUS.. Once we drove up the coast going east then up to the north shore we loved it. Felt like we were in a diff country. Very tropical :)
If I was to go back I would never stay in Waikiki.

Have a few plans in mind for a property in Hawaii... Havn't found one yet, not really looking but this has sparked my interest.

If you are serious please PM me the town your house is in, or atleast a 5km radius... Preferabbly the street.. Don't need the house number, at this early stage.
Also please include how much you are looking to get money wise. Any other info you feel relevant please include :) No point wasting my time or yours.

Lastly, I wouldn't be paying for a property in BTC or any currency other than USD.. but you can take the money and convert to BTC, PPC, LTC or spend it at KFC :)

Any info you give me I will keep confidential and not post in the thread or mention to anyone, other than my fiancee (however its spelt)
If you prefer you can email me... as we all know how private the PMs are :/

Thanks and hope you are serious and to hear from you soon.

Well have fun saving up thousands of dollars then because that's how much its gonna cost for travel to and lodging in any of the other islands. There are a few quaint 2-star hotels on Kauai, but Maui and the Big Island (Kona coast mainly... opposite side of island of Smoothie's property) have become refuges for the filthy rich. No aloha for you unless you spend $300+ a night for a hotel room.


I think you're missing the point of his offering / exercise.

Yeah I understand his intentions... but lets not kid ourselves.. its not like this is going to be $200 or $2000 or $20,000....
So if he wants to make $$$ we can chat, and if it all goes through he can buy the BTC himself :p

I think you're better off just checking Craigslist Big Island properties/homes for sale.

I will be posting the asking price (currencies of choice) online in the next 24 hours in another thread I will link to once it is posted up...


...Just so anyone following this thread will know where to look going forward.
