Fee Simple vs Leasehold

[Francisco Gutierrez]

Hello Everyone,

I know this topic comes up from time to time but didn't see this asked so here goes...

Is there a way to lookup (county site?) the years remaining on a leasehold property (and other details) or is it something done once you have a realtor and then they ask the seller's realtor, etc.?

I have been looking at Maui properties to use as short-term rentals but its mostly been surface level and it seems like the leasehold details would make a HUGE difference in deciding whether or not to pursue further. Thanks in advance!
