Yes, why not? Of course there will be certain areas that you can't buy (such as properties owned by the government), but that's true in any state. Just make sure that if you're buying property in Hawaii to look for "fee simple" rather than "leasehold" terms. Fee simple basically means that you'll own the land and the buildings on it. Leasehold means that you own the buildings but not the land. A realtor in Hawaii can help you find land to buy if you're interested, and guide you through all the technical details.

YES!!! The state of Hawaii has set aside a lot of land for the Native Hawaiians, but you can absolutely buy land that is not reserved for them. I have some first hand knowledge in this field and in the state of Hawaii. If it is your intention to develop this land, I would suggest you be in Hawaii from beginning to end while you are planning, grading, building, etc.. your house. You really need to be involved each step of the way. Otherwise, if you are trying to hire someone else to oversee the project or do it yourself long distance, in my experience in the state of Hawaii, it would be less expensive and easier to buy a existing house. Good Luck!!

I'm not an expert but you can not own or buy land in many areas. No one can own the beach. Huge areas of prime real estate are owned by a trust and they only lease the property for development, not sale. If you actually "Own" land in Hawaii, you are lucky.

Hawaiians will sell land to anyone that has enough cash. The problem is having enough cash. Prices are ridiculous. Do some research and contact a Realtor.
Good luck!

LB is correct. Although finding fee-simple real estate which includes land is few and far between, especially on O'ahu and Maui. You'll fare much better on Hawai'i and Kaua'i but lots there are being gobbled up by investors by the hour.

absolutely each man or woman could purchase some thing they opt for in the adventure that they have the greenbacks. There are resources vendors in united statesa. who're no longer voters of the US yet nonetheless own resources and characteristic businesses. lots of them have "silent better 0.5" status to steer sparkling of any legal stuff. if you're an American you genuinely must be able to purchase Hawaiian resources.

yes, mostly everywhere except Nihau which is protected and you have to be 100% hawaiian to own land there.
