Frequently 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-ops,
so the project is known as ″Mixed-use″ building. Apartment unit #1506 has converted to a Condominium.
2. 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. The financing could/should go back to Conventional mortgages (FHA, VA, etc).
3. What about financing?
Credit Unions, Central Pacific Bank, Bank of America, Wells Fargo and most of the Mainland Banks/Lenders
WILL NOT write a mortgage on Atkinson Towers, because it's a ″Mixed-use″ project (Co-ops and Condos). But, Bank of Hawaii and
First Hawaiian Bank WILL write a ″Portfolio″ loan at 20% - 30% down for Owner Residents, higher for
Investors.
4. What about Seller's financing?
Agreement of Sale and Purchase Money Mortgages can be offered to the Buyers, with 5%, 10% - 20% down and terms
of 4-7-10 years, but the Seller of this Condo #1506 has decided to only sell for cash or bank financing.
5. Should you preview Atkinson Towers units?
YES, if you are ″cash buyer″, but NOT if you are looking to finance, unless you have received
a ″pre-qualification″ letter from either Bank of Hawaii or First Hawaiian Bank.
6. What was the last sale in Atkinson Towers as a comp?
Unit #907 sold in November 2010 at $ 314,000 - one bedroom, one bath with one parking stall.

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

The owner/seller has moved to the Mainland into a retirement home and is motivated to sell this Atkinson Towers
property where she has lived since 1969.

entrance hallway.
