The city of Kapolei, Hawaii on the island of Oahu continues to grow and to move forward with new roads and construction projects.  As I drove through Kapolei the other day, I noticed that the new urban core roads heading back to the future Foodland grocery store are now open.  A few other things that are going on in Kapolei are:  New interchange with the H-1 Highway near the Kapolei movie theatre, the stoplights are in position but not functioning yet at the intersection by Costco and Outback Steakhouse, Brickoven Pizza is open for business and Kamokila Boulevard is finally get a repaving to fill in all of the damage that was done when Kamokila Boulevard was the only road through the city of Kapolei.  Hopefully the whole Kamokila Boulevard from Ft Barrett Road all he way to Costco will get repaved.

Living in Ewa Beach, Hawaii and having the city of Kapolei just 10 minutes away is the perfect blend of city life and suburban life.  Ewa Beach doesn’t have many shopping centers and for the shopping centers that are in Ewa Beach, they really only service the people that live in Ewa Beach.  There aren’t people coming to Ewa Beach to shop at our small amount of stores.  That will change soon when City Mill opens in the new Laulani Shopping Center in Ewa Beach.

Both the cities of Kapolei and Ewa Beach are great places to live, work and play.  The homes for sale in Ewa Beach and Kapolei, including Makakilo and Koolina Resort are some of the finest built homes on the island of Oahu.  Oahu homes for sale are already in short supply and they are definitely in short supply in Kapolei, Ewa Beach, Koolina and Makakilo.  This is because people are discovering the great way of life in these areas.

Did you know that you can use money from a VA Loan in Hawaii to pay off credit cards, student loans or other consumer debt?  Its not illegal and it is not a secret but many Hawaii Military Veterans don’t know how to benefit from this and many Hawaii Real Estate Buyers Agents don’t know how to word a contract correctly in order for you to take advantage of this.

The bottom line is that you can get a credit from a Seller of a home in Hawaii or a credit from a developer of a new construction home in Hawaii and use it to pay off your consumer debt.   This can only be done with a Hawaii VA Loan and not other loan programs.  For example:  If you buy a $400,000 single family home on Oahuand the Seller credits you $15,000, you can use some of that money to pay off consumer debt in conjunction with your Hawaii VA Loanin addition to using the money to pay off your closing costs and prepaids.  In the past, Buyers that I have represented have paid off car loans, credit cards and student loans in conjunction with the purchase of their homes in Hawaii.
