We got the house.
 

Sneak peek at the new Amp house.

Gated, planned, perfectly manicured community in Wailea.... the prime jewel of Maui. We move in officially December 1st.

Now..... who the hell is gonna be on Maui around that time to help me move all this stuff... I'm buyin' the beer. :glugglug

hotdamn.. looks great amp!

gratz :thumbsup

nice

Congrats you fucker..

Ill be there tuesday night.. couch ok?

:thumbsup

no more noisy neighbors, eh?

hehe.... couch might be full of boxes by then.... :winkwink:

paradise in paradise

nope..... I hope these people above me right now burn in everlasting Hell.... :glugglug

I'm jealous :BangBang:

amp - post a pic of what the house looks like from the street

well, it's dark here now..... but I'll get some more pics....
we went over there and went through every inch of it tonight, but it was getting late so there wasn't much light left....

I think I might have one pic though... lemme dig it up...

Sorry, but can't make the trip. Are you buying or renting? Either way what does a house like that sell for or rent for in Maui? If you care to say. :)

Congrats Amp!

You new castle looks kick ass!:thumbsup

here is where it's at:

renting.... $3500 a month.

buy we have the option to consider buying in 6 months or a year if we want....

awesome. how much would it cost to rent or buy something similar? more importantly, how hard would it be to find a place?

mmmmmmm..... golf

Very nice house!

hey amp.. what island are you on?

i just got back from the us virgin islands looking for a good island place to live and was very disappointed.

i've heard fantastic things about hawaii... any thoughts?

very sweet

this one's for sale for $1 mil.... but there are houses all around it selling for anywhere from $1 mil to $12 mil....

very nice!!!

congrats :thumbsup

well, Maui rocks.... I love it here and I seriously doubt I'll ever leave....

but I came here from San Francisco.... so I was looking to ditch the whole Bay Area fast lane scene in a big way.... if you like big cities, Honolulu over on O'ahu might be better.,... Maui is the 2nd largest island here, but it's really laid back.... not much big city scene here.... time slows down here..... :glugglug

Congrats Amp!

they have a website (that you're aware of)?

why's that Hooper?

yep.... tons of properties for sale bro....

Congrats Amp, enjoy!!

man paradise on earth and new house....

AMP we gotta get my new project rollin so I can move 2 :glugglug

I have one more guy ahead of you bro.... you're almost at the top of the list here.... :winkwink:

I started my life of porn on Maui with a big fat grant http://www.hightechmaui.com/womenintech/index.html

awesome! thanks amp :glugglug

seriously, if you need a home loan here, (investment property or otherwise) that's what my girl does.... lemme know and she'll take care of you... :glugglug

uber touristy.. apparently the us virgin islands are the cruise ship capitals of the world... you've never seen more tourists or more tourist traps..

plus every nice piece of land is owned by the resorts.

Looks good Amp, and congratulations !

looks great AMP and hell alot better than the appartment with neighbours from hell right :1orglaugh

rain, windy, no sun, cold.... fuck it sucks here!

:warning

Looks very appealing, and warm.

I should dump my Michigan bachelor pad and head for warmer weather...

I'm doin' the monkey dance here guys.... hehe....

I'm a guy wearing the grin of a man that just escaped the neighbors from Hell.


oh yeah.... it's Corona time baby.... :glugglug

That's Bad ASS !

What's the square footage ?
If it's a cool mill in Maui, what do you think the same house would go for in a less popular area..?? I know it's a general question but I'm just trying to get a feel of the cost of living there more than anything, I guess..

3 Bedrooms 3.5 Bathrooms
Interior Living Area: 2,109 sf
Total Living Area: 3,848 sf
Land Area: 7,700 sf


It's hard to say.... properties vary so much here because of proximity to the ocean.... if you buy in Kahului, which is pretty much the hub here... that's where you go when you gotta go to the store.... it's cheaper... cuz it sucks.

but even a one bedroom condo on the 9th floor ON the beach down here can cost upwards of $750k...... so, it really depends on how close you are to the water, and whether you're in Kihei (the working mans town where I live now), or in Wailea... luxury resort world, where we're going....

Lahaina is reasonable, but Ka'anapali up the road is outrageous again because from Ka'anapail up through Kapalua is all luxury again.....

Living here is not cheap by any stretch of the imagination..... it CAN be.... but I wouldn't want to live that way. This will be the most rent I've ever paid anywhere.... topping even Silicon Valley with my one bedroom condo for $1537 a month..... this is more than double that, but well worth it. :glugglug

Niiiiiiice.

:smokin

Well there are Plenty of Mormons in Hawaii to Bang On Your New Front Door now


Have fun

this 3 bedroom condo I'm in right now just sold for $155k....

extremely close to the beach, but it's pretty much not-so-nice if you know what I mean..... we took it because we had to.... no one else would rent to us sight-unseen from California over the phone.... but our lease is up, and we are fucking GONE baby... :)

Nice :) can you see the sea from your balcony?

fletch you can look at us...

im tellin you that pic of yours is looking at me! :helpme

not from this place, the back is totally enclosed with coconut trees.... which really isn;t such a bad thing either... :winkwink:
but if I walk out the front door, go down to the corner, and across the street, I'll be standing in the Pacific.

Nice pad.
Wailea is sweet. I just got married at the Grand Wailea 2 weeks ago. We had a real estate agent showing us around looking at some places.

I'd move there right now if it wasn't for the 30 day mandatory animal quarrantine.

yeah, that sucks... my girl gave up her cat when we moved here....

Grand Wailea is pretty awesome..... only 5 minutes down the road from me....
