Buying any of the beachfront homes for sale in Hawaii is the dream, but it is not always going to be an easy process for everyone. Below, we tackle three of the most important concerns to keep in mind when shopping for an oceanfront property:
Access to the beach. Having a day-to-night view of the ocean is a top perk, but it does not always mean having easy access to the beach. A buyer needs to clarify with the real estate broker what it takes to do so. These questions need to be asked: How far away is it from the property? Is it a place where it is actually advisable to swim? Are the kids going to be alright in the area? Is the beach open to the public? How crowded can it get? Some people think they got a gem of a beach house, before realizing that it is fronted by a very rocky beach, or that it is too deep for toddlers to swim in, or that the waves can become quite big.
Lifestyle needs. Whether it’s in front of the beach or not, a property should always be ready to support one’s lifestyle. And it begins by taking note of the buyer’s daily routine. What are the activities they intend to accomplish each day? Who are the people who will be spending time at the place? How will the weekends look like? If you shopped for an oceanfront property so that you have a quiet holiday destination, then you would want to steer clear of those which are near a commercial establishment. You have to consider the street location and how busy it can be, too. In Kukio, for example, among the hottest properties sit along Makani Eka Place, Pilia Place, Kooloaula Place. In Hualalai, they’re along Kaupulehu Drive, Nehe St., and Paku'i St.
Financing. Some of the best properties are not necessarily open to all buyers. The sellers might have placed them in an exclusive listing, and you have to link up with a trusted broker to view it. You might also have to be pre-approved as a buyer, especially for financing purposes.

DraftKing's New Arcade Mode
In an effort to keep their customers interested, happy, and engaged with Daily Fantasy baseball, DraftKings decided to release a brand new type of game mode called Arcade Mode. DraftKings released this game type on May 16th and quickly got a great deal of talk about it.
So what is it? To break down, it is an abbreviated game type that aims to be “Easier to Draft. Faster Scoring, and Exciting to Watch”. In traditional DFS baseball for DraftKings, all lineups are required to have: 2 Starting Pitchers, 1 catcher, 1 First Base, 1 Second Base, 1 Third Base, 1 Shortstop, and 3 Outfielders. On top of this, many players have positional flexibility meaning they could be played at up to two different positions. For the new arcade mode, the required lineup is the following: 1 Pitcher, and Five Utility Hitters (with no positional requirements). In addition to this funky lineup requirement, Arcade Mode will only be offered on smaller groups of games (rarely for the main slate).
This mode aims to give you much greater lineup flexibility allowing for players to have tons of different variations of lineups to battle to reach the top spot and claim the grand prize. But how does the point system work with only six players per entry? In essence, every stat gets a boost in fantasy baseball points. For example in a traditional lobby, a hit would be worth 3 fantasy points and a stolen base would be worth 6. On the other hand in the Arcade Mode, a hit is worth 5 fantasy points and a stolen base is worth a whopping 12.5! In addition to all stats getting a boost in value, DraftKings is also rewarding different stats with more fantasy points. For example, if one player on your team is able to get both a Home Run and Stolen Base, in addition to the normal points the player would accrue for hitting a Home Run and stealing a base, the player earns an extra 10 fantasy points! The daily fantasy strategy for this type of game mode is completely different now that rewards more for different things. Those who have the ability to knock one out of the park and steal a base is inherently much more valuable than those who cannot.
It is going to be interesting to see which strategy prevails as best, so be weary when you first enter these types of funky lobbies!
