HRS §667-23
Recording the foreclosure notice before the deadline
Before the deadline in the notice of default and intention to foreclose, the notice must be recorded in a way similar to other property notices. Once recorded, it acts like a notice of pending action. Anyone who buys or gets a lien on the property after that is considered to know about the foreclosure and is bound by it.

The statute, as written — Recordation of notice of default and intention to foreclose
Before the deadline date in the notice of default and intention to foreclose, the notice shall be recorded in a recordable form in a manner similar to recordation of notices of pendency of action under section 501-151 or section 634-51, or both, as applicable. The recorded notice of default and intention to foreclose shall have the same effect as a notice of pendency of action. From and after the recordation of the notice of default and intention to foreclose, any person who becomes a purchaser or encumbrancer of the mortgaged property shall be deemed to have constructive notice of the power of sale foreclosure and shall be bound by the foreclosure.
