Hawaii Real Estate Terms used in MLS listings
NCU certificate: Non Conforming Use certificate. If a property has an NCU certificate than you can officially rent it out short term.
Leasehold (LH): When you buy a leasehold property, you buy it just FOR A PERIOD OF TIME and then you have to surrender it (with no money back). Also see fee simple.
Fee simple (FS): Fee simple is the most complete form of ownership .
Buyer's agent:
I am a buyer. Why do I need an agent? Can I buy a house without an agent?
Fractional Ownership: In a fractional transaction, buyers typically buy a portion of a property.
(They don’t have to know the other owners.)
In the case of four owners, a $1 million second home costs each buyer just $250,000.
For that price, owners can use the home for a few months per year and rent out when they don’t use it.
The buyers receive deeds for their shares and build equity.
If one owner defaults, the shares owned by others are untouched by the foreclosure process.
Fractional ownership is different from a time-share where access, rather than actual property, is being sold. More information is here
Hawaii Property Tax:
The property tax rates for the state of Hawaii can be found here. Some owners may also qualify for exemptions.

Veteran Affairs (VA) registered or approved properties: Military personnel and veterans in some situations qualify for a special loan called VA loan. However, the property must be VA approved to get such a loan.
