Owning a Hawaii rental from somewhere else

Many of the owners we work with live on the mainland, overseas or on another island. Owning an Oahu rental from a distance raises its own questions: who is your on-island contact, who files the taxes, and how do you know the home is being looked after when you cannot see it yourself. Hawaii Coastal Property Management is a licensed Honolulu brokerage (RB-24258) that handles those pieces for you.

  • An on-island agent. Under HRS 521-43(f), an owner living out of state or on another island must designate an on-island agent on the written rental agreement itself. As your property manager, we fill that role.
  • Hawaii GET handled. Under our current long-term management agreement, we act as your GET tax agent: we collect, file and pay GET on the rent we receive for your property and show it on your owner statement. See our guide to GET tax filing.
  • Reporting you can read from anywhere. An owner portal with monthly statements, rental income and expense reporting, plus the documents you need at tax time.
  • Documented inspections. Regular inspections with photos, so you can see the condition of the home over time instead of wondering about it.
  • A home you are not renting. If the house sits empty between your visits, Home Watch and Home Concierge covers in-person checks and a photo recap after every visit.
