About this home
Rare multi-unit income opportunity in the heart of Hilo. This versatile three-unit property sits on a generous 22,500 sf RS-10 lot with potential for subdivision. The front duplex offers two spacious 3-bedroom/1-bath units — one upstairs, one downstairs — while a detached 3-bedroom/2-bath home sits privately at the rear. In total, approximately 3,200 sf of rentable living area, plus a centrally located 3-car garage. Each building has its own separate water and electric meters, making multi-tenant management simple.
Two units are currently tenant-occupied and generating income. The vacant back house is ready for an owner-occupant or a new tenant, offering immediate flexibility and strong upside as units turn.
Additional value-add potential: the seller obtained carport permits for the front and rear of the property (not yet built; may still be valid) and previously explored subdividing the lot with separate access off Pala Lane. RS-10 zoning may allow subdivision — buyer to verify with the County of Hawaiʻi Planning Department.
Whether you're looking to live in one unit while renting the others or seeking a pure investment play, this property delivers — all in a convenient, established Hilo neighborhood just minutes from town. Sold AS-IS; buyer and buyer's agent to verify all information.
