Top 10 Cash Flow Properties in Kailua, HI

Last updated July 05, 2026

This leaderboard ranks the 10 strongest cash-flow opportunities available in Kailua, HI as of July 4, 2026. Kailua isn't a market where positive cash flow falls into your lap, the average cash-on-cash return across tracked listings sits at 0.0%, so these 10 deals represent the best of what's available, not a guarantee of easy income. What draws investors here is the combination of rental demand from one of Hawaii's most desirable coastal communities and a projected annual appreciation rate of 3.8%, which adds a meaningful second layer of return on top of whatever cash flow you can capture.

Deals are ranked by cash-on-cash return calculated assuming a 20% down payment financed at the current 30-year fixed mortgage rate of 6.43%. Rent estimates come from automated valuation models or comparable rental analysis for each property type and location. All figures incorporate ownership costs including insurance and property taxes. Depreciation tax benefits are excluded because they vary by individual tax situation.
