Hawaii Rental Market Snapshot
State-level data DSCR underwriters use to size Hawaii rental deals.
Hawaii is one of the most expensive DSCR markets in the country. Honolulu medians clear $800K, with thin gross yields driven by tourist STR demand and military rental from Pearl Harbor/Hickam/Schofield. Bill 41 restricted new STR registrations to 90-day minimums in many neighborhoods, investors who purchased pre-2022 with grandfathered Type-A/B permits hold a significant DSCR advantage. Big Island (Hilo, Kailua-Kona) offers lower entry prices and a more permissive STR environment.
Major Hawaii Markets We Serve
Active DSCR deal flow across Hawaii's core rental markets. Same DSCR math statewide. Credit and equity injection are lender underwriting.
| Metro | Median Price | Gross Yield | DSCR Investor Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Honolulu | $925K | 3.0–4.5% | Largest HI market, military + tourism + jumbo pricing, restricted new STR registrations |
| Hilo | $465K | 5.0–6.5% | Big Island east, lower entry, university and government employment base |
| Kailua-Kona | $695K | 4.5–6.0% | Big Island west, vacation rental demand, more STR-permissive than Oahu |
Hawaii Eviction Timeline & Landlord Posture
How Hawaii courts handle non-payment evictions, material to DSCR loss-severity assumptions.
Hawaii requires a 5-day notice for non-payment under HRS 521. District Court schedules ejectment hearings 30–45 days after filing; appeals can extend final-keys to 4 months.
Hawaii Rate Adjustment vs National Baseline
High-priced jumbo concentration, STR-rule volatility (Bill 41), and longer judicial timelines push lender pricing above national baseline.
Final pricing depends on DSCR, LTV, property type, and program. Credit is lender underwriting. Governed best-tier floor 5.80% from rate-floors.json as of August 1, 2026.
