Let's Talk About Buying Land on Hawaii Island

To provide you with the low down on the realities of buying land and building a home, I sat down with Kyle Nishiyama, Knutson and Associates in Kailua Kona. We created this video from the many questions we get from people looking for a way to skip competing for single family homes and think buying land to build is a good idea and from people looking to grow their own food on their land and lead a sustainable lifestyle.

Here is what we covered in the video:

Leasehold Vs fee
How hard is it to subdivide land?
Where is land available?
What can you build?
Can you build a tiny home community?
What do you need to do for financing?
What are the state taxes on land?
Are there tax breaks for ag land and what do you need to get them?
What IS the maintenance on open land and farm land?
What does it take to be a gentleman farmer?
What are the costs to build?
Considerations: Location of land Vs city center for labor to do work
Costs to clear or “grub” land
Do you need an archeological study?
