Frequntly Asked Questions:
1. Is Atkinson Towers a Cooperative or a Condominium?95%+ of the units have already been converted to Condominium,
but 6 of the units are still known at Co-op, so the project is known as ″Mixed-use″ building. Unit #1403 is a Condominium.
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 Lanai or from the Living Room.
3. What about financing?Credit Unions, Bank of America, Wells Fargo
and most of the Mainland Banks/Lenders won't 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% 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. YES.The Owner/Seller will consider Seller Financing with an Purchase Money Mortgage, with 25% down,
for 5 years, at 5% interest only payments, depending on the credit report/score and/or a financial statement.
This could save the Buyer upwards of $4,000 to $6,000 in points and closing costs.
5. Future?There is a good chance, over the next 3-4 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, VA, etc.).
6. What have been the sales in Atkinson Towers as comps?Unit #1402 at $270K; Unit #1404 at $310K; Unit #1603 at $295K; Unit #1605 at $300K; and Unit #306 at $348K.

elevator maintenance and waste/trash removable contracts, and basic TV cable.
