A comprehensive guide to renting in Hawaii<\/h2>\n

We get a lot of questions about renting in Hawaii and in this video we took the following questions into account:<\/p>\n

Kristy, Kansas City mo<\/p>\n

\n

How hard is it to get a place to rent without a job at first? I know we can’t get a loan until we have income.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

John, Kansas<\/p>\n

Rental housing, I am being transferred to Oahu for work. It is my wife and I and a small dog. Looking at mid November 2020 to arrive. Where should I start in terms of housing for rent. We are not ready to buy yet. I have notified our vet and researched the rules for bringing a dog but would like information on that as well. Thank you<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Maryann, Pennsylvania<\/p>\n

\n

What would be the approximate rental price for a small house on the big island? (nothing fancy)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I am hoping to relocate to Hawaii with my company… How difficult is it to rent a place and or how expensive is it<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Christina, Indianapolis, Indiana<\/p>\n

\n

I want to eventually live there but right now my sons are starting their families and I don’t want to miss that. So I’m thinking of a property that I’ll be able to rent but visit a few times a year.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Aloha~ In February, my family of 3 humans +2 small dogs will relocate to Oahu for about 5 months for my husband’s job, which will be based at Point Panic. This is a dream come true for us! However, finding a pet-friendly, short-term, furnished 2 bedroom rental for less than $6K a month (with all of the fees) is a nightmare. Over the last two weeks, I’ve scoured AirBnB, VRBO, Zillow, Trulia, Furnished Finder, and Facebook Marketplace – and I nearly fell for a real estate scam! The search is so time consuming. I’m growing anxious that we aren’t going to find a place, and we’ll have to leave the dogs on the mainland. So I have two questions for the experts:<\/span><\/p>\n

1.) Apart from AirBnB \/ VRBO, is there any source you know about for finding furnished (pet friendly) month-to-month rentals?<\/span><\/p>\n

2.) I know some of the developments in Kapolei are pet-friendly and allow short-term rentals. However, they are all unfurnished. Do you have any insight into the monthly cost of renting furniture to outfit a 2-bedroom condo? And recommendations for local companies?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Peera, Tucson, Arizona<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I am a counselor and plan to move with dogs and children. Is it easier to rent or buy a house and what does the job market look like for therapists.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Marla,Texax<\/p>\n

\n

is it better to get a apartment and pay upfront the entire lease while I look for a job. Or, look to purchase a cheap condo?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
