Frequntly Asked Questions:

1. Is Atkinson Towers a Cooperative or a Condominium? 80%+ of the units have already been converted to Condominium, but 20 of the units are still known at Co-op, so the project is known as ″Mixed-use″ building. Unit #601 is a Condominium.

2. How many bedrooms? The MLS shows the 3-bedrooms, but the 4th ″room″ can be a small office or storage with a closet and a private door.

3. What about financing? Credit Unions, Central Pacific Bank, 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) and the parking lot is ?Leasehold?. But, Bank of Hawaii and First Hawaiian Bank will write a ″Portfolio″ loan at 20%-30% down for Owner Residents, higher for Investors.

4. YES. The Owner will consider a ″Seller Financing″ with an Agreement of Sale Mortgage, with 10% down, for 10 years, at 5% interest only payments, depending on the credit report/score and/or a financial statement. This could save the Buyer upwards of $6,000 to $9,000 in closing costs. Pre-payment penalty, after five (5) years is negotiable.

5. Future? There is a good chance, over the next 5-7 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 was the last sale in Atkinson Towers as a comp? Unit #1101 sold in November 2009 at $380,000.00 with a covered parking stall and it was/is highly upgraded and renovated.

7. What is included in the Maintenance Fees? Building/flood/fire insurance, Maintenance Manager and staff, water, electric, sewage, elevator maintenance and waste/trash removable contracts, and basic TV cable. The electricity (HECO) is not included for Unit #601.

8. What about air conditioning? It is possible to install A/C, with a split system, and/or portable window units, with AOAO approval.

9. Why are the owners selling this condo? The husband is about to retire from his job at the university and he wants to join his wife who is now living in their new home in Thailand. The Sellers are highly motivated.
