Then don’t commit to anything until you’ve come out here at least the first time, and perhaps even the second. There are so many variables that you’ll have to actually be here to figure out what’s best for you.

Yes, I am thinking part time in HI, part time in my primary residence.

Great questions. Are you thinking of coming out here to live for 6 months at a time and then going back, year after year?

Thanks Peter for the content and perspective. I am enjoying watching your videos. I think I would still want to know the answer to:

“Do you know the best way to go about renting places for six months at a time?”

Are there any ideas you might have around this or how to make it work well? Is it better to be closer to downtown and don’t rent or buy a car? Is it possible to buy a car for just the 6 months and then sell it? Better to live outside of downtown and get a car? Cost saving tips for 6 months of living instead of lifetime? Anything else that comes to mind based off your expertise :)!

I am thinking around downtown Honolulu could be best (has public transit, many things are within walking distance, close to hospital, etc.), get something that is furnished, and only rent a car for weekend type trips or when desired / necessary. I am thinking 6 month sublet from December – May because the flights in December and May (when I would travel to / from Hawaii) are cheaper in these “shoulder” season months.

Let me know if that doesn’t make sense and thank you again for taking the time and sharing the island with us!

after reading this, do you have other questions?

This is my question as well and if anyone has helpful tips, that would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I only work w/ the best in the state – long-established, impeccable record. I can attest that of all the people I’ve referred to them I’ve not only never received a complaint but also have received glowing reviews – otherwise I wouldn’t work with them.

We have a collection of partners that we get the moving data from.

Joseph – curious where you are located. We have the same “rare” last name!

Most people use Zillow though it will be a challenge to rent until you physically live here. Waianae to Waipahu are nearly different worlds.

Do you have any suggestions for a service or website that can help find a house for rent that allows pets? I will be working in the Waipahu area. Since I have been traveling 50,000 miles per year, distance isn’t really a problem. I guess I need to know if we would be outcasts in the Waianae area.
Thanks

You really should talk to our pros and have them help you. Use the form to get an estimate and then reply back to me and I’ll connect you.

Can’t wait to get back!

It’s less about the container itself and more about how you’re going to go about packing and unpacking that container.

That really depends. Did you try the estimator? Here’s a simple question: what’s the cost of shipping a mattress vs the selling the one you have an buying it again here in Hawaii?

Yes, people do have vacation homes in Hawaii and yes, essentially the way to save shipping is to not ship them!
