@Tinwin WangOn Oahu, there are licenses (called NUCs or non-conforming use certificates) for legal rentals outside the resort zones in Waikiki, Turtle Bay and Ko Olina.

Then I'd make something that conforms with the downtown to blend it in, but with modern amenities (two or three story brick rowhouses work well in many downtown areas). 

You are looking at a simple court action, but if you haven't been in court before use the services of a paralegal to make sure your filings conform to the court rule. 

Then maybe you went to a portfolio lender or got hard money since again based on your statements you don't have the buyer profile for a normal conforming loan Did you get a seller carry or did the seller potentially offer that ?

I am simply waiting on the conforming copies of the order from the court so I may take to the Sherrif's for the eviction/lockout.

When we toured the house there was actually 4 bedrooms (one was just non conforming).

residents of California have a tricky time when doing strategy planning because California often does not conform to federal tax laws.Make sure that the professional you work with understands that.best of luck!

Most, if not all, Building Departments across the country will not allow an Architect to self certify work related to violations/non-conforming/non-permitted construction work. 

Unless you have a realtor or seller willing to credit the difference to make the deal happen.Both of these programs require:- Must be Owner Occupied- Must fit within county income limits - Must fit with maximum loan amounts based on FHA conforming and high balance limits - Standard vanilla ratios (DTI) depending on program type The last option is from a Non-Profit called NACA.While NACA requires everyone to become members and go through a rigorous process, and many agents and sellers believe they are extremely slow in processing and funding, the program is 100% financing covering all closing costs.Pro’s:- Credit score isn’t used- No fees no closing costs- 100% financing based on county limits- No income limits- Can lend in 50 statesCon’s:- Required to be a member for 5-10 years with monthly payments and volunteer when they need you - Slow processing I hope this helps.  

POA's need to conform to state statue.
