For financing, I recommend you reach out to @Andrew Postell

Theres someone living in the side that I will be occupying until the 1st of February, but since I JUST became the owner, would it make sense to reach out and ask them something like "Hey its __ the new owner, just checking in to see how you're doing.

How do I reach you for a call ? 

Quote from @Jai Windish: Hey Jaycee, Thanks for reaching out.

If anyone here wouldn't mind me reaching out to you on occasion, please let me know (especially anyone in Las Vegas!!).

Still, you may not have to submit your tax returns. more info would be needed to know for sure, reach out to a seasoned loan officer for pre-approval and see if your situation would allow for this. 

If you have any insight on the topic, or looking to connect, please reach out.

I've got one if you will reach out to me. 

You'd also need to establish a budget, and secure a master insurance policy. i THINK you need to do these things before reaching out to your municipality to have it converted officially with the county or city but they would be the first ask for steps in order.i will add, this would make financing on these units a bit challenging, as in the mortgage world, at least initially, they would be considered "non-warrantable" condos.

(We had a boat as an AirBNB and the plumbing would clog very easily and we had to state a similar statement and it got us out of refunds and bad reviews) hope that helps!
