HRS §431:6-307

Mortgage loan limited by property value

This section limits how much a mortgage loan can be for, based on the property's fair value. For a one-family home with a long repayment plan, the loan can be up to 80% of that value. For all other properties, it can be up to 75%. Government-backed guarantees can reduce the loan amount before applying these limits.
