Frequntly Asked Questions:
1. Is Atkinson Towers a Cooperative or a Condominium? 98%+ of the units have already been converted to Condominium, but 4 of the units are still known at Co-op, so the project is known as ″Mixed-use″ building. Unit #1003 will be converted into a Condominium - in Escrow, at no cost to the Buyer.
2. What about the views? The swimming pool and the Ala Wai Canal can be seen from the Lanai. The mountains, surrounding buildings and the Ocean can be seen from the Living Room.
3. What about financing? Credit Unions, Bank of America, Wells Fargo and most of the Mainland Banks/Lenders will NOT write a mortgage on Atkinson Towers, because it's a Mixed-use project (Coops and Condos). NEW - Announcement: Sandalwood Home Loans will write a conventional mortgage with 10%-20% down payment for 30-years fixed (Owner Occupants). Bank of Hawaii, Central Pacific Bank and First Hawaiian Bank will write a ″Portfolio″ loan at 20%-30% down for Owner Occupants/Investors.
4. NOT. No Seller Financing at this time.
5. Future? There is a good chance, over the next 2-3 years, all the Co-op stockholders will convert to Condominium, and the building will NOT be a mixed-use project. All the financing will go back to Conventional (FHA, etc.).
