Happy Veteran's Day to all those who have served! There may be no other state in the United States where the military culture is more a part of life than in Hawaii. This may come as a suprise to some, but anyone who has lived here, on Oahu, knows that the military is an integral part of the community and the island economy is dependent upon it. Military service members and their dependents make up roughly 1/8 to 1/10 of the entire population of the State of Hawaii. On Oahu, where there are numerous military bases, the percentage of the military population is even higher. On Friday, I attended a Military Appreciation Day celebration and mass at St. Anthony School in Kailua. This Military Appreciation Day Celebration was made even more special because my husband, who is currently ser...

Getting a Legitimate Lender and Getting Pre-Approved It used to be that buyers could go house shopping and when they have found their dream home, then they go to get pre-approved. However, in today’s market, that has proven to be one of the least effective methods in landing the dream home. Most lenders can pre-qualify you for a mortgage over the phone. Based on general questions about your income, debt, assets, and credit history, lenders can estimate how much mortgage you qualify for. However, being pre-qualified and pre-approved are different things. Pre-approval means that you have applied for a mortgage; you have filled out the mortgage application, received your credit report, and verified your employment, assets, etc. When you are pre-approved, you know exactly what the maximum l...
