We look for multifamily properties of 5+ units in areas such as Downtown Hilo, Waiakea, and Keaukaha — from well-kept stabilized buildings to properties that need renovation, better management, or lease-up.

Hilo Seller FAQ
Do you buy apartment buildings in Hilo?
Yes. Skyline Capital Investments buys multifamily properties throughout Hilo and nearby communities, including Downtown Hilo, Waiakea, Keaukaha, and Kaumana.
What drives rental demand in Hilo?
Demand in Hilo is supported by the University of Hawaii at Hilo, healthcare and county government, and lower pricing than Oahu. We weigh those fundamentals, along with the condition and rent roll of each building, when we set a price.
Will you buy a Hilo property that needs work or has high vacancy?
Yes. We regularly evaluate value-add, mismanaged, and distressed multifamily properties and underwrite them as they are today — no repairs or lease-up required before selling.
Can I sell my Hilo apartment building off-market?
Yes. We work directly with owners and through listing agents. Off-market conversations are confidential, and we coordinate tours so tenants and staff are not disrupted.
What should Hawaii sellers know about property taxes?
Property taxes in Hawaii are set by each county, and rates vary by property classification. Rental income is also subject to the state’s general excise tax, which we build into every underwriting model.
