Thoai was AMAZING every step of the way. She provided me with so much info, I really didn't have any questions. She actually gave me answers and explanations to questions I wouldn't have even thought to ask.

Dominica was the best! Was only able to afford my home because of Dominica's expert and assistance. Dominica was able to get the job done while others lenders couldn't.

Wayde helped us purchase our home as first-time home owners and we're so grateful for his support. We interviewed several brokers/lenders before deciding to move forward with Wayde as he had prior experience working with first-time home owners, was extremely knowledgeable of the market, and reassured us he would be available every step of the way.

Frequently asked questions

Why should I work with a local Hawaii lender instead of a mainland company?

Hawaii real estate follows its own rules. From time zones and recording cutoffs to unique land title and escrow procedures, the Hawaii lending process is unique. Mainland lenders unfamiliar with these details can cause funding delays, missed recording deadlines, or even last-minute loan denials. Working with a local Hawaii lender means your loan is handled by local mortgage experts.

Do I need to be in Hawaii to work with your team?

Not at all. Many of our clients live on the mainland or overseas but are purchasing or refinancing property in Hawaii. Our secure digital platform makes it easy to apply, upload documents, and close on time. No matter where you are in the world, you can get qualified and close your mortgage all remotely.

Can I still qualify for a home loan if I’m self-employed?

Yes! We work with many business owners and offer flexible income documentation options that go beyond traditional tax returns. Whether you use bank statements, CPA-prepared financials, DSCR loans, or other income methods, we’ll help structure a loan that fits your financial profile.

How long does it take to close a loan in Hawaii?

Many loans close in about 21–30 days, depending on the loan program, property, and how quickly documents are provided. Timelines are not guaranteed.

Do I have to put 20% down to buy a home?

Not at all. We offer a variety of flexible, low down payment options for conventional and first-time homebuyer loans, as well as zero-down payment programs for VA and USDA eligible borrowers.

$0 down payment available to eligible VA and USDA borrowers; closing costs, fees, and a VA funding fee or USDA guarantee fee may apply. USDA loans require an eligible property location and are subject to income limits. Loans are subject to credit approval. Programs, rates, terms, and conditions are subject to change without notice. Not all applicants will qualify.

How long does it take to close a home loan?

Many loans close in about 21–30 days, depending on the loan program, property, and how quickly documents are provided. Timelines are not guaranteed. Our team keeps you updated at every step.

Do you offer VA loans?

Yes, and some of our loan officers are Veterans themselves. We know the VA loan process inside and out and are committed to helping you make the most of your benefits. Because we work with multiple lenders, we compare options to help you find competitive rates and terms tailored to your financial goals.

VA Loan Disclosure: $0 down payment option available for qualified Veterans, Active Duty service members, and eligible Reservists with a valid Certificate of Eligibility (COE). $0 down payment does not mean $0 due at closing; closing costs, escrow, and a VA Funding Fee may apply and can be financed into the loan. Representative Example: A $400,000 30-year fixed-rate VA loan with $0 down at an interest rate of 6.250% (6.520% APR) results in 360 monthly principal and interest payments of $2,462.86. Payment amount does not include taxes, property insurance, or HOA dues; actual payment obligation will be higher. Rates and terms subject to change. Kama'aina Mortgage Group Inc. is an independent mortgage broker and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or any government agency.
