Congrats!

You aren't moving until December... but looking at rental houses in August? Am I missing something?

[KoaKine]

Its the only time we can go out we just want to get the lay of the land in that market so when we get out there in Dec it will be easy or as easy as it gets

That makes sense. Contact me if I can help you out. We will be on island June 25th, Hilo area (South)

Congratulations! How exciting for you!

It's a good idea to come over and scope things out. You may not actually be able to secure a rental that far ahead of your arrival date, but you'll get plenty of information. I'm over in Kona but if I can be of any help when you are on island, feel free to get hold of me. You can send me a DM thru the forum.

You might post a "house wanted" ad on craigslist. I know I look at those now and then, and if I see one that I think we could help I e-mail them. Worth a try. For instance, in August a property manager or owner might know that end of Dec. their tenant is not going to renew, and could be a chance for you.

Congradts to you both!!! If I hear of anything I will let you know ..... there is allot of houses for rent on the market .... I will be back come Oct....still keeping an eye on the market. I do know of really nice house just out of Pahoa .... family friend that is looking to sell (although his expectations are rather high) but it is empty and wants a renter? 2 acre place with county water. DM if your interested? Maybe well all hook up some day!!!

Aloha,
I want to thank all of you for your kind words!
I do not plan to secure a rental that far in advance I just want to get an idea of whats out there. I have spent a lot of time on the BI but mostly in Kona so this trip will focus on Hilo but I will have to make at least 1 trip to Kona to say hi to my friends and go to Costco ( I so miss Costco the nearest one is in Canada ) I am also going to find a Vacation rental for the first month while my thing come over on the slow boat . We are really liking up the Hamakua coast a little bit to live but still closr enough to commute to hilo. Any ideas?
