- 02/10/11 02:09 PM
Often times I look back, scratch my head, and ask myself where did all my money go? Have you ever asked yourself that? Money always seems to leave as quick as it comes.... sometimes quicker.

- 02/08/11 11:46 AM
We are often times asked by our Hawaii Kai real estate clients as well as other real estate investors what the difference is between assessed value and market value.
