I'm an investor and agent in VB happy to talk through your strategies sometime.

Even with a shared bathroom and living room, your place is likely much nicer than the average extend-stay motel, so if your rents are competitive, then you can likely serve this avatar.You may find that a 5/2 is an acceptable temporary housing solution for a family displaced after an insurable loss (fire, flood, etc.).

Meaning you can sell an apartment and purchase an office building and it's a valid exchange. 

My point is certain things are learned with experience and 1) acting as GC once does not provide an opportunity to leverage the experience 2) mistakes can be costly.good luckHi Dan,thank you.

Look at a few of my post to others and if you want some direction or advice from an Old Fart, I'm your guy.  

Purchase price: $178,000 Cash invested: $10,000 primary home own use has an Airbnb/ short term rental 5 months out the year/sometime this year will try BRRRR

Some think that this is an anti-group home law, but so far nodoy has challenged this in court.

If the house were in perfect condition, it would be worth around 250-275k but as of now, selling isn't an option because we may use that property in the future for our business. 

We pay our remote team members an end of year bonus regardless. 

it all depends on the math.I have an excellent Oahu investor realtor referral if you need help sorting it out.
