If those were added in it would have been about $150/sf and that was for a site ready addition without plumbing. 

To help you begin though, the most recent drafts of the bills can be found here: https://www.hawaiicountytar.com/The Leeward Planning Commission will hear the proposed bills on Thursday, April 18 @ 2 PM (streamed over youtube on Hawaii Planning Department's site).

If you demolished inside and they see it you cannot get a standard HELOC you will need to go hard money as most lenders are going to tell you that any worker who stepped on the site can lien the property and HELOC's do not use a new full title report, they rely on the title report of the last sale (again like I started with if people DIY record after closing it's a problem). 

The motel we offered on was utilizing Airbnb solely for rooms, and I think there’s good opportunity to utilize STR OTAs and hotel booking sites to bring in customers.

I recommend you print, study, and highlight the HUD guide: https://www.hud.gov/sites/dfiles/PA/documents/HUDAsstAnimalN...You should also check with a local HUD office to see if they have any additional guidance they can provide you.Keep in mind, not everyone is subject to Fair Housing requirements and you may be exempt from allowing the ESA! 

The rest of my email threads that started more than a month ago and were still active yesterday show only the portion that is more than a month old…Is this a site wide problem that’s being worked on or a Bill specific problem that can or cannot be fixed?

So, you should just finish the work before the site visit is complete to take out that possibility.  

Most people have very modest goals if $30k/month has caused this reaction on a site called BiggerPockets.  4.
