  • (Part 1)When I started my journey of buying a house in Hawaii, I was clueless, and I didn’t know who to ask or where to go. I turned to RUclips to see if other people share my struggles and what did they do about it? Unfortunately I did not find too many videos about buying a house in Hawaii in the area that I liked which is big island of Hawaii, so I promised myself if I ever do it, I will make a video which might help other people in their journey. And here it is, there are videos and pictures of before, and after explaining all the struggles I had to go through and all the challenges. Hope you find it useful and entertaining.

    Visited Hawaii twice so far. BEST 10 days of my life in 2000, second best ten days of my life in 2021 or so. I don't have the income to keep visiting or to relocate there. But absolutely for sure, if I won the lottery on Saturday, I'd be moving there on Sunday! (I don't play the lottery) so thank you for sharing your success in getting back there. Now to go confess my sin of envy! 😀

      I retired to Big Island at 28 years old, in 1992 and though I've traveled the world a bit It is home. Every part of the Island I have lived in. My favorite place is covered by lava now... .but in the 90s it was quiet & Very peaceful by the tidal pools. Have you visited the BEST beach? ..the Keaau Shipman beach is worth the walk to get to. ❤

    Congratulations you could see past the cosmetics to realize your dreams. You found your life sweet spot. I went for a week to visit a friend in Volcanoe Village and then rented a little house in Lelani Estates for many months. Now I just housesit when I can usually on Oahu to get my aloha fix.

    Word of advice; lots of homeless live in the jungles around that side of the Big Island. They usually rob houses of people who dont live there full-time, so if you are vacationing for any long length of time, or your neighbors dont like you id expect your house to be robbed at some point. From what I understand, they wont rob you physically; but your stuff if left unattended will be gone. Also; id also check what Lava Zone you are in, in order to get an expectation of potential issues with that. Lastly; make sure you double check your homeowners insurance.

    • @Nastaran.Battles
      @Nastaran.Battles  3 месяца назад

      Aloha to you and thank you so much for your comment. I appreciate your advice. I have a neighbor who is in my house every day and takes care of things. Plus I have a security system with lots of cameras as well. Unfortunately, theft and burglary are Common there with increased drug activity. I’m so lucky to have such good neighbors who are always watching and helping each other. Yeah the lava zones can matter in your homeowners insurance and they are not cheap at all. Mahalo for watching and have a beautiful day.

Having wanted to live on the big island for many years now, and having looked at properties, I see exactly what you have gone through. Glad you stayed away from the property with all the pit bull dogs and noise, smart move👍👌🌴🌴 The feeling around your neighborhood is truly peaceful and so close to the water, for your daily walks👍😁🌴. I know that you and Mike are happy together in this beautiful place you have created for yourselves. In this troubled world of today, having your piece of heaven and companionship makes life so blessed-happy for you Nastaran! Mahalo for you and your sweat spirit and gentle ways!

      Aloha Dave. You must’ve felt so confused about why I started babbling about the house with no introductions, but happy you found part one so now it starts to make sense a little bit I hope. I am so glad I did not settle with the house with nine pit balls also. Like one Neighbor told me one time in our area dogs are companion and pets and not a security system😁. Do you think you will ever retire in Hawaii? Or at least visit anytime soon?

      @@Nastaran.Battles I literally left my whole heart there. I met people from all over the world, worked for the largest law firm in Hawaii, modeled part time for Barbizon and met friends that remained friends, even after I left the island. Whatever you do, NEVER leave. My life has been good in Colorado, I finished my college degree, bought a home, and had an enjoyable career as a Software Developer for the past 24 years. And yet, I still yearn for home. I have traveled back to the Islands about eight times since leaving. Mostly I visit Kauai, because it is my favorite Island. I have never been to the Big Island. Only, Maui, Kauai and Oahu. I am thinking about retiring on Maui. Enjoy Hawaii, it is truly a magical place. When I was there, I felt like Alice in Wonderland.
