Contracts

AA. Vacant land purchases use the same forms as residential purchases with no modifications

CC. Vacant land in Hawaii cannot be sold using standard real estate contracts
DD. Only licensed developers may purchase vacant land using specialized contracts
Explanation
Vacant land purchases involve unique considerations: availability and cost of utilities (water, sewer, power), county entitlements (zoning, permits), environmental conditions (soil, wetlands), access rights, potential for development, and soil suitability. Due diligence periods for vacant land are often longer than for improved properties because more investigation is required.
