That includes off island homeowners(a better term would be real estate investors), property 9 <br /> realtors. All of these people are using beautiful Hawaii as their cash cow while the ordinary citizens have to suffer. <br /> How do the rest of us suffer? <br /> By living next door to a STVR and the invasion of unruly,entitled occupants <br /> By having a once friendly neighborhood overrun with strangers and rental cars <br /> By having to deal with so-called "property managers"who tell us to"F*ck off'when we call to complain about the <br /> nonstop noise and raging parties <br /> By having mainland STVR property owners cheating on their property taxes by claiming a residence status <br /> By having mainland SNR property owners cheating on their rental income earned and, in tum,their Federal and State <br /> tax forms <br /> By having mainland STVR property owners ignoring the guidelines as set forth by the county regarding STVRs...knowing <br /> that NOBODY will come out to check them from the county. <br /> I am, unfortunately, able to state that all of the above has happened to me. When the huge party house next door was <br /> illegally rented in the STVR pool and the owner and "property manager"(unlicensed )were unresponsive, I got busy! I <br /> found out all about my mainland neighbor and his unlicensed realtor/property manager by checking county records.Just <br /> the tax cheating alone was shocking! I also found out about the outstanding citations he had with the building department <br /> and I then uncovered concerns about his underpar sewage system in a home once deemed suitable for a family and now <br /> renting to 14-20 occupants. <br /> The owner next door got busted and then faced steep fines and back taxes. He put his house up for sale. We now have a <br /> nice family living there and all is well. Even though we have"lucked out" I remain firmly opposed to STVRs in regular, <br /> residential areas. There are many others still dealing with this plague/nightmare. It is for them that I speak out! <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Carol Fuller <br />
