Question 12

What were the takeaways from the 2024 HKCA Meeting?

Accepted Answer

Here are my 5 key take aways from from the meeting:1. BOARD ELECTIONS: no director changes for now2. HKCA FEES: HOK and KON to increase 16%, LUN 5%3. AC: HOK and KON project cost has risen sharply to $30M4. MOTIONS ADOPTED: 2 board resolutions adopted 5. OWNER MOTIONS: none adopted For those interested, here are further details and commentary:1. BOARD ELECTIONS: no director changes for nowNo Hokulani residential candidate received enough votes in the electronic elections to be elected.  As a result, elections were held during the annual meeting primarily via proxy.  During the first vote, no candidate reached the election threshold. After a motion to adjourn was defeated, a second vote was held which resulted in the election of Stew Levine for a 3 year term. The next two highest vote getters were Marla Gerber and Laurinda McKenzie each receiving 18% falling just short of the 20% election bar. Due to HKCA bylaws, current directors Tali and Wilde will remain as Hokulani directors until the 2025 HKCA Annual Meeting unless an election is called sooner.  I unfortunately do not know the results of the organizational meeting held to elect officers.  2. HKCA FEES: HOK and KON owners will experience sharp fee increases (>15%) in 2025Due largely to necessary increases in AC reserves and higher insurance premiums, Hokulani and Konea owners will be hit with a substantial increase of 15-16% in 2025.  Luana owners will have a far more modest 5% increase.3. AC: HOK and KON project cost has risen sharply, LUN gets a free ride thanks to BoardThe Board gave a rather shocking estimate of $30 Million for the HOK and KON AC replacement project which is roughly a 50% increase from last year's estimate. This is $50,000 per unit. One owner did strongly question the wisdom of committing to a new system when the current system can be kept operational for many more years if we reuse components when a stack is replaced with a new system.  This could provide the necessary spare parts to keep the original AC system running at a small fraction of the cost of full replacement.  Regarding Luana AC, those owners can thank the 5 directors who are also Luana owners but refused to properly recuse themselves from an executive session vote to sue the developer over AC defect.  HKCA has no financial or legal obligation over these alleged defects, yet as a result of this all owners will end up paying costly legal bills which could run into the hundreds of thousands.  It's a sad example of how this Board looks after its own interests instead of yours.  4. MOTIONS ADOPTED: Resolutions adopted for standalone director elections elections and residential election rules The first permanently adopted the rules for election of residential directors and the second granted permanent authorization for holding separate board elections via electronic voting.  This means owners will have to deal with the cost, confusion and inconvenience of holding separate elections and annual meeting from now on rather than keeping them as a single event.    5. OWNER MOTIONS: 4 proposed, none adopted due to lack of secondNone of my resolutions received the necessary second for discussion.  These were each advisory motions meaning the Board had discretion on whether to act upon them.  They involved:1. Full electronic meeting participation by owners 2. Ban on use of HKCA funds for private developer lawsuits3. NC2 director election by vote of owners instead of appointment4. Formation of professional resort management committee As disappointed as I was, I do not regret making them and still consider these crucial matters for all owners going forward. Full electronic meeting participation at the 2025 HKCA Annual Meeting is a right that all owners should demand when the technology for this has existed for years.  This would largely eliminate proxies and allow owners to have full say in HKCA matters.  Perhaps most importantly, owners deserve 5-star quality professional management of Honua Kai Resort and the failure of the Board to grasp this reality only puts us further behind each year. The Board will soon hire a new GM for HKCA who if the past is any indication, will be vastly overpaid and then face the nearly impossible challenge of hiring and keeping great employees working for a dead-end HOA. Like his predecessors, he will be micro-managed and then eventually fired by the Board starting the process all over again.  What's that saying about the definition of insanity again ...

Book with confidence and enjoy a truly tailored getaway experience!

Question 23

Accepted Answer

We do not allow pets at any of our properties unless it is a service animal. If you have a service animal, please let us know at the time of booking so we can make note of this.

Question 27

Why would I want to use a vacation rental company rather than manage my rental on my own?

Accepted Answer

Using a property management company for your vacation rental can offer several advantages compared to managing it yourself. Here are some key reasons why you might consider hiring a property management company: time and effort savings, the management company usually has expertise and years of experience, higher revenue potential for your property, familiarity with legal compliance, and guest services that we offer, just to name a few. While managing a vacation rental yourself can save you the property management fee (usually 10-20% of your rental income), it comes with significant responsibility and time investment to do correctly. If you are looking for a property management company for your new property or considering switching over, contact us today at (808) 460-6050 for Hawaii properties and (435) 523-4546 for Utah properties, or email vip@kbmresorts.com for more information.

Question 28

Is it worth it to update my property for short term rentals?

Accepted Answer

Updating your property can significantly increase its rental income, especially if the property is in a desirable location. Renovations that improve the appeal of the property&mdash;such as upgrading the kitchen, bathrooms, or adding high-quality furnishings&mdash;can justify higher nightly rates. Additionally, vacationers often look for properties with modern amenities, so a well-maintained, updated space may attract more bookings and higher-paying guests, leading to a better ROI. If you would like to learn more about our property management services, give us a call today at (808) 460-6050 for Hawaii inquiries and (435) 523-4546 for Utah inquiries.
