Rare Legal STR Condo in Hilo with Proven Returns and Built-In Management OptionSome properties offer more than a checklist of features — they offer a shift in lifestyle, a step toward financial freedom, or simply a better use of time and capital. This one-bedroom, one-bath condo in Hilo, Hawai‘i presents that kind of opportunity.Legally Zoned for Short-Term RentalHilo remains one of the most tightly regulated markets for short-term vacation rentals (STRs) in Hawai‘i. Most listings operate under fragile grandfathered exemptions or waitlisted permits. This condo isn’t one of them. Its zoning allows legal STR operation without a permit, which puts it in a rare and durable investment class.Upgraded, Booked, and ReadyOver $60,000 has been invested in renovations, creating a clean, modern, and guest-ready space. Its appeal is evident — high occupancy, strong reviews, and a repeatable guest experience that continues to convert bookings. The location offers walkability to downtown Hilo, tropical views, and a base for travelers seeking East Hawai‘i’s slower, more authentic pace.2024 FinancialsGross Revenue: $71,126.46Total Expenses (incl.
