I asked if the equity shared will be converted back to notes, or if that part of it was permanent (which begs the question how do we get our money back?).

Learn the process 2. buy a more permanent home 3.

I've reported it to MLS to have the listing permanently pulled as it's an erroneous/illegal listing. 

I asked if the equity shared will be converted back to notes, or if that part of it was permanent (which begs the question how do we get our money back?). 

Also, do you plan to use it for permanent financing, or as a bridge to get the property stabilized and into another loan?

But, this makes me think I should spend some time trying to find a way to permanently mount it to the wall..... thx

I would offer $40k down payment and pay the balance of $160k to the association when construction is complete and I obtain a permanent loan.

Couples often pay for comfort and uniqueness, so if you create a cozy vibe (fireplace, outdoor seating, privacy, maybe a hot tub) you could charge a strong nightly rate.That said, I’d be cautious about removing a bedroom permanently.

If you're in the process of receiving permanent disability, it sounds like you wont be returning to work.

(Bad spending habits during college) Only 10k for a down payment which wouldn't get very far most places let alone Hawai’i I have a full time job and a part time that really only bring in a little under 4k a month and planning on getting a better paying job in a month to bring it up to about 4,500 a month (still not a lot) I currently live rent free and have no other debt which is wonderful so saving is my current goal however the spot I live in isn't a permanent arrangement and am expected to move out at the end of the year  my original idea was to try and buy a small live and flip apartment that id do myself for the easy stuff (not electric and plumbing lol) and go from there but because of my location, there's nothing affordable for me and leaves me stumped with my next, technically first step toward ownership  any insight or help on a good first step would be greatly appreciated Aloha  Makani, we have a BiggerPockets Hawaii Fans meetup this Sat, Aug 9th @ 10am HST in Kakaako.
