Topic: ❎►฿ FOR SALE: Smoothie's Hawaiian Property 1 Acre + 4 BR/3BATH (Read 4544 times)

Well my name is well known and out there already. Not anything to hide there.


Concerning WC,

Really?

I didnt get that memo.  

Can you PM the info?

Real estate listings are how we found out WoodCollector's real identity. Powerful tool sometimes

I guess it is a good thing I did not post the physical address on the internet.

That's also like saying "dont use a realty company because they post your house photos online to help you sell it"...

Kind of counter intuitive.

Trust me I've taken precautions if anyone tried to come at me in any harmful way.

Not sure if it's an incredibly good idea to post pictures of your house on an open forum to be honest.. Especially if you have money.

Tons of scammers out there and it would be a shame if someone used the image of your house and found it and ransacked it/harmed you.

You have to be very careful about what info you post on the internet.. You never know who will find it and utilize it.

Hopefully you don't run into trouble.. I'd almost suggest maybe getting some firearms if you're gonna say your location online. :/

nice! PM me so we can chat some time.

Nice house and good luck! amazing an early adopter could have a house in hawaii for a few days work back then lol.  Also great link I had never heard of that site with houses

Good luck with the sale. I live Kona side and hope to use crypto to buy land up in the Hamakua area someday.

Just want to quickly add that yeah, while that is true, their power (as is the power of wind and waves even) is also bounded, this time by God.


We should not fear TPTB because even if they kill our body, they cannot kill the soul. God alone has the power to destroy both soul and body in hell forever, and if we propagate this fact enough, there will not be anyone who dares to work for the enemies of God.

Bitpremier is free to list on, but I believe it was a 15% fee of the sale price once (if) sold. Somewhat hefty.

And here I was thinking Smoothie was a pimply faced kid living in his parents basement 

The whole time he's living the good life, congrats smoothie, wish I was in the market for a vacation home...or could afford a vacation home 

I considered it.

Just never got around to posting it there. Do they charge a fee to post up on their site?

Raffle? Not sure how that would go down nor the legalities behind it.

It is located in Puna, Hawaii.

Any serious buyers can PM me and I can setup a meeting if they want to view the property.

I'll give all necessary info to those who are seriously looking to buy and not just waste my time 

I posted the recent sales in the main post to get a gist of the general location and the prices for selling parcels.

Have you looked at selling this on bitpremier? Maybe you should make a raffle for this like the one on Sean's outpost although I'm not sure what the laws regarding this are in Hawaii

Ha, ha -smoothie is one gud braddah for shure!

Location, location, location!

TMK or map might be helpful for those doing due diligence?  

Yeah, there was a pretty detailed story last year about someone that had their house siezed for defaulting on their loan. The issue is the house was fully paid off many years prior, was a clear and free asset, and they even had the deed proving it. It went to court, they lose the house and ended up in a multi-year battle, with the end result being that the bank apparently went for the wrong address (like 110 xxx drive instead of 106 xxx drive). They were given nothing for their hardship (having lost everything, being put on the street to figure out what they could do, having no way to even get another place in the meantime). And apparently this exact situation happens ~1k times a year in the U.S. in the same exact manner.

The simple fact is that even if you have proof of what you say, the court can completely ignore that and screw you regardless over a clerical error.

Not to mention a lot of people don't realize the government can take anything they want, classifying it as "eminent domain." And that's even when there is no claim you did anything wrong. This is also something that happens much more frequently than it should.

Basically, what you think you own, you don't. There's this false sense of security in having things like deeds, but the fact is you can lose it at any time -- all it takes is someone with power to see it and say "I want that." And there are even more loopholes to steal your stuff than just these two situations, but these are the most common.

Maybe I'll PM you if I feel like sharing. The point is that they were and I had no recourse, it should have been illegal but it was not. We are not free nor do we actually own what we think we do. We hold what we are allowed to by TPTB.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_forfeiture_in_the_United_States

What was the reasoning for your assets being seized?

I've had assets seized without recourse a few times so I don't blame him.

Is owning property in the U.S. not favorable for you?

Would be interesting to hear your logic and decision making based on that.

Shame it's in the U.S. Otherwise I might be looking for exactly that kind of deal, since I am long on BTC, silver and perhaps other of the instruments as well, and seeking a property.

If an opportunity like this presents itself in non-EU Europe, India or SE Asia, contact me!

Hmm I disagree with this. I think it is more economical for people in the hawaii economy to build wooden houses than brick houses.

In Hawaii we don't need a ton of insulation generally as we never need to heat nor cool our homes.

The temperatures are generally in the 65-85 degree range.

Since Hawaii is volcanic and subject to earthquakes, I'd guess it's an ordinance that doesn't allow brick structures to be built without heavy re-enforcement or at all.  I grew up in the SF Bay Area and that's how it is there.

Didn't mean it like that... I basically view them in tiers (due to where I live):

1) RV
2) Mobile
3) Wooden
4) Brick (house)

I did some thinking and I believe the reason why there aren't brick houses there is due to the heat and such, which could cause them to crumble/settle/etc.

All I ever read is how high the prices have got in Hawaii,this is really cheap in my eyes. That barely gets a 1 bedroom apartment in Vancouver(Canada).
Good luck selling your property.

This was a house I grew up in.

I live nearby yes.

Brick houses are not common in Hawaii.

The style you see is generally what is used of course with proper hurricane clips on proper beams in the house.

Was this your main house and you'll move or do you live nearby?

My house isn't real?

This is a little off-topic but I figure you're a good person to ask and you get a free bump... are real houses (like brick) rare in Hawaii? I've been looking at property in HI for a couple months now and haven't found any other than like the type you're selling (not sure how to word it, but basically the same style).

If you read the post I did say that your real life identity needs to be revealed.

You can't buy real estate in the US anonymously.

Can I pay in anonymous debit cards?

Buy your own piece of paradise! (well...it's home for me) 

Aloha and thanks for the kind words. Let me know if you know anyone interested.

 

Thanks.

No I am not moving from Hawaii. This is just a investment property/rental I am selling.

Good luck with the sale smoothie, and awesome house + property you've got there. Someone buying with any combination of the payment options BTC, Litecoin, Monero, Gold, and Silver would probably be a first of its kind.

Also I have to ask, if you're leaving Hawaii, considered a paradise by many, where would you be moving to? Winter is overrated in my opinion. 

That is a very nice place you have there. But i need to work a lot more so i can buy it and consider to retire in a nice home in the Pacific. Wish you a great sale, mate. Best of luck!

thanks smeagol.


Also this is a property that I lived in from the ages of 12 thru 24 (thru college etc).

hehe in the same respect I'm not ready to move FROM the middle of the pacific.

 

I think I may list it there as well.

Just haven't had time to do it yet.

Hopefully soon. 

I like it Smoothie, but I'm just not ready to move to the middle of the Pacific. 

Have you thought about listing it on bitpremier? They have lots of houses on there https://www.bitpremier.com/5-real-estate

I'd love to buy a place with bitcoin eventually and is one of my goals for btc, though I'm along way off currently.

Good luck!  The property looks really nice, and you've got a great location.

Good luck, smoothie!

FAQs

1. WHY $1 +…?

To at least satisfy the condition of consideration of payment in my local government currency.


2. WHY are you accepting multiple forms of payment with different increment sizes?

I believe each of the payment methods listed have some sort of value as payment and thought it would be an interesting idea to attempt to accept multiple forms of payment in a single payment transaction (of course in their respective methods).


3. Can I just pay in Bitcoin?

Yes. All accept the $1 difference to be accepted in cash.


4. Do You Accept Escrow?

Yes a reputable escrow company or individual willing to disclose all of their personal information will be used at my discretion (i.e. I pick the escrow).
To make things simpler I may strongly suggest we use a local Hawaii-Based (reputable) escrow company.


5. How can I trust you?

You don't have to. I have always had an honest reputation on this forum. My reputation speaks for itself. With an escrow party you won't have to trust me, but the escrow.


6. How do you propose gold/silver be escrowed?

Good question. I'm trying to figure that one out. Any reasonable suggestions are welcome and will be considered.


7. Are you holding strong to your price?

If you are curious, make me an offer close to that price above. THE PRICE IS NEGOTIABLE

8. What types of renovations/repairs are you planning to do on the property?

I have several in mind that I will be posting about as they are done. Currently I am painting the interior kitchen, living room, bedrooms, and hallway for the moment.

   b. No exchange is included in the Bitcoin Price Index that has halted trading (i.e. No MTGOX action etc.)
