"I bought a one unit apartment (2 bedrooms, 2 baths, kitchen and living room) of the Executive Center for $300,000 with a loan from BOH for 6% per year, payable in equal monthly installments over a 20 year period. I hired also the Best Western Company to manage the unit for a fee of $500 a month. Before I rented the apartment to 4 students at $500 a month each, I spent $100,000 of my own money to renovate, replace the furniture, install wireless connections and new television.
