Working Hawaii lists

What the Hawaii rules mean for your lists

In Hawaii unpaid tax can end with the county selling the property itself, so an owner who is several years behind faces a real deadline. Sort the tax-delinquent list by years behind and amount owed, and reach the oldest balances first.

Mortgage foreclosures in Hawaii go through the courts, which takes months. Owners with a foreclosure case can be reached long before a sale date, and a sale before the auction can protect their credit and equity.

If you buy and resell, plan for Hawaii's seller disclosure rules: they apply to every resale of a home, including a flip.
