“What First-Time Maui Homebuyers Should Expect From Their Agent”
Buying a first home brings important decisions, unfamiliar terminology, and questions that buyers may not yet know to ask. An agent’s responsibility includes helping clients understand those decisions well enough to move forward with confidence.
The Maui Property Tax Surprise Buyers Should Understand Before Closing
Why the seller's current tax bill may tell you very little about your future ownership costs. By Anthony Freda, PCAM®, CHA® | Hawaiʻi Real Estate Broker A buyer finds a beautiful Maui home. The location feels right, the property meets their needs, and the financial picture appears manageable.
Buying the Home Is Only the Beginning: What Buyers Need to Know
A beautiful home can make a strong first impression. Attractive landscaping, well-maintained amenities, and thoughtfully designed common areas all contribute to a property's appeal. But what happens behind the scenes may matter just as much. After years working in luxury hospitality, community association leadership, and Hawaiʻi real estate, I've learned that a community's long-term success depends on more than how it looks today.
Before You Buy: What a Well-Managed Community Looks Like
By Anthony Freda, PCAM®, CHA® | Hawaiʻi Real Estate Broker A beautiful home can make a strong first impression. Attractive landscaping, well-maintained amenities, and thoughtfully designed common areas all contribute to a property's appeal. But what happens behind the scenes may matter just as much. After years working in luxury hospitality, community association leadership, and Hawaiʻi real estate, I've learned that a community's long-term success depends on more than how it looks today.
The Maui Home You Love Today: Will It Still Work for You Tomorrow?
Buying a home on Maui is about more than finding the right property. It's about understanding how that property will support your life, responsibilities, and priorities over time. It's easy to understand why someone falls in love with a home on Maui. Perhaps it's the architecture, the neighborhood, the privacy, or the opportunity to spend more time with family. For others, it's a long-awaited retirement destination or a place where future generations can gather.
What PCAM® Adds to My Perspective on Maui Homeownership
I recently reached a professional milestone that has been important to me: earning the PCAM® (Professional Community Association Manager) designation. I’m grateful for the accomplishment, but the letters themselves are not really the story. What matters to me is what the knowledge behind them adds to the way I can help people make better ownership decisions. For many buyers, particularly in Maui's residential and resort communities, evaluating a property shouldn't stop at the residence itself.

Choosing a Maui Property Manager: What Owners Should Know
For second-home owners on Maui, property management is rarely just about having someone available when something breaks. The more important value is often found in what happens before something breaks. Having worked across luxury hospitality, community association management, residential operations, and Hawaiʻi real estate, I've seen how closely property condition, preventive maintenance, vendor oversight, governance, insurance, and communication can intersect.
What Buying My Maui Home Taught Me About Choosing the Right Community
A little over a year ago, my spouse and I became homeowners in Maui ourselves. After years of working in real estate, luxury residential operations and community association management, I suddenly found myself experiencing the process from a different perspective. This time it was our money, our home, our neighborhood, and our decision to live with long after closing. We chose a home in Maui Lani in Kahului. I went into the purchase knowing many of the questions buyers should ask.
The Maui Condo Reserve Question That Matters More Than the Balance
When buyers evaluate a Maui condominium, one number often creates an immediate sense of reassurance: the amount of money held in reserves. A substantial reserve balance can certainly be positive. But by itself, it tells you surprisingly little. The more important question is not simply: How much money does the association have in reserves? It is: What is that money expected to pay for, and is the association financially prepared for what comes next? That distinction matters anywhere.
The Maui Condo Fee Question Buyers Should Ask Before “How Much?”
Why the Monthly Assessment Tells Only Part of the Ownership Story When evaluating a Maui condominium, one number almost always gets immediate attention: The monthly maintenance fee. It is understandable. Buyers want to know what the property will cost to own, and association assessments can represent a meaningful part of that expense. But focusing only on the amount can lead to the wrong conclusion. A lower monthly assessment does not automatically indicate a financially stronger community.
These Dark Times
So, I haven’t been publishing many Substack columns lately, because I’ve been busy writing the USA road trip book, Strangers in a Strange Homeland: A Manic Odyssey in Search of the American Spirit. I’ll tell you more about it and promote it below. First, though, I want to promote an interview I did with my partner in thoughtcrime, Anthony Freda. For those who don’t know him, Anthony is an artist, illustrator, and educator, based in New York City.
Heal Yourself to Heal the World
Tracy Beanz is an award winning investigative journalist and health freedom pioneer who spent two decades asking questions the official narrative didn’t want asked, refusing to accept no for an answer, and then building an independent platform of over one million people to ask them louder. Her work has been cited in the congressional record. However, the deeper thread running beneath all of it has always been consciousness.

Anatomy of a Globalist Propaganda Piece
Shhhh. Don’t tell anyone, but I put something naughty in my illustration for the Wall St. Journal this week. I was tasked this week with illustrating a piece for the Globalist rag, also known as The Wall Street Journal. I always say yes to an assignment when my agent calls before I even read the script. You can’t turn down opportunities in this game. Upon reading the article, I was struck by, but not surprised at, what a shoddy and ham-fisted piece of anti-American propaganda it was.
How to Unblock YouTube Videos on Computer and Mobile

The War on C.J. Hopkins
"No other prophet has described the strategies or predicted the perils of the emerging totalitarianism with such persistence and eloquence as C.J. Hopkins." -Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. I have designed four book covers for the brilliant satirist C.J. Hopkins. Collaborating with C.J. has been a highlight of my career. He’s a really great smart guy who is an indispensable chronicler of our times and a front-line worker in the hot war for freedom of speech.

The Covid Dossier: A record of military and intelligence coordination of the global Covid event.
This is a set of facts and references compiled by independent researchers Debbie Lerman and Sasha Latypova. Editorial note - my readers know that I have been vocal about covid as military operation since early 2022. I personally arrived at the conclusion that the massive harm from the covid shots and other government “pandemic response” measures was fully intentional.

From the Plague to Palestine
From the Plague to Palestine As the world seems about to embark on a global, military war on multiple fronts, maybe a line can be drawn from the plague of 2020 response to today. It began with one official military style division, Essential vs. Non-Essential. It spread to Masked vs. Unmasked, and Vaxxed vs. Unvaxxed. The whole War on Kovid was built upon Us. Vs. Them narratives. Perhaps we are witnessing the logical progression of this dynamic in humanity.

They can limit bandwidth whenever they want, and you might not notice. But when Netflix gets choppy or Facebook takes minutes to load, your ISP may be limiting data transmission over your connection.

School Daze - UncoverDC
I’m both a teacher and a parent of a student. I can say with authority that distance learning and the in-school New Normal are beyond bad. They are society-killing, man-made disasters. My students are amazing, and we are making the best of the situation. I know my class will be beneficial to the students, but they are being robbed. Quite literally. They are paying for one academic and social experience and receiving a much diluted and polluted version of college life.
Cryptojacking and the Bitcoin Miner Virus Threat
What is cryptojacking? Cryptojacking is the act of hijacking a person's computer to secretly mine cryptocurrency. Because cryptojacking requires increasing processing power to mine cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, miners are discovering new ways to wield that processing power. One such way is to borrow it from thousands of unwitting internet users. Bitcoin became incredibly lucrative in 2017, when the price skyrocketed toward a walloping $20,000 per coin.
Let There Be Light
We are all under house arrest. Our financial and job securities are in jeopardy. Our constitutional rights have been stripped. Retirement plans? Forget them for now. The models made to justify the draconian response have been proven to be inaccurate. Crime is up in some areas, like New York, since the lock-down, as are suicide rates and domestic abuse. And, the full extent of the damage inflicted on the people by our government’s reaction is not yet known.
