OK, so as John Baker, Chief Technician at our Phoenix radio station, KFYI, reminded me, being “stuck in Hawaii” is an oxymoron.
But, well, we are stuck in Hawaii for another 48 hours. However, we’re leaving Wednesday if I have to swim! (Did I already promise this when I wrote in an earlier blog that we’d leave today?)
Anyway, here is what’s happening:

Hawaii’s Economy and Investment Opportunities: Land Ownership Solutions

By Keith DeGreen, J.D., CFP — Hawaii Yacht Club, Honolulu
Welcome to Paradise
The first thing to remember about Hawaii’s paradise economy is that, by mainland standards, it is relatively small.
According to Jeff Tollefson, President of The Hawaii Chamber of Commerce, Hawaii’s top industry – tourism – pumps about $12B per year into the economy; and the military, a close second, generates about $9B.

Not long ago, Bob wrote requesting various technical information about the performance and equipment aboard
The Global Adventure. I asked our intrepid First Mate, Rip Knot, to respond. In his thank you to Rip’s response, Bob disclosed that he is the proud owner of the first Nordhavn 86! Here is the exchange between Bob and Rip:

Life in the Slow Lane: Back at the Hawaii Yacht Club
Posted by Keith on April 24, 2007 at 4:13 pm | 2 Comments
As one of our website visitors, himself a boating enthusiast, said: “We don’t have a schedule, and we’re sticking to it!”
I’m back with The Global Adventure at the simply wonderful Hawaii Yacht Club at the Ali Wai Marina in downtown Honolulu. It’s breezy and beautiful, but yes we really are going to depart for Majuro. Weather permitting, we’re out of here Sunday right after our radio show.

Should You Put Real Estate in a Trust or LLC?

Keith,
What are the advantages of putting personal real estate (first or second homes) into trusts or LLC’s other than limiting potential liability issues?
Thanks,

Encumber His Home to Invest in Phoenix Real Estate?
Posted by Keith on April 24, 2007 at 2:56 pm | Leave a Comment
Keith,
Love your show, and have a question: I’ve been thinking about tapping the equity in my home or 401-k to purchase a couple of new homes in the Phoenix Metro area. I’m 54 years old. My home is worth approximately $265,000 [$210,000 equity].
Does it make sense at my age to encumber my personal residence further for investment purposes ???
Thanks in advance for your response and smooth sailing.
