Immediately called airbnb and sent pics but they were completely useless and said they need owners approval to refund the prepaid stay.

The one thing I am calculating is my taxes, I've spent alot in maintenance and repairs this year and with depreciation and other deductions I will make a loss, so I wouldn't want any pre-paid rent to off-set that.

You are only able to borrow the original purchase price as stated on the original hud-1 plus the taxes, prepaid points, closing costs etc.  

For example, there are prepaids that end up resulting in my having a larger principal balance than I currently have, in addition to paying the refinance fee.Now I'm trying to determine if the savings from the lower payments will be more than the cost of the higher overall loan payoff.

Based on quick math of a $160k purchase price at 25% down, I'm coming up with $62k needed to acquire (including inspection costs, prepaid insurance, contingency account, etc.), not including your $10k for renovations.

Sometimes the guidelines will specify what this can not be credited toward, like prepaid items.Loans on primary residence are the most versatile in combining gifts, and concessions to produce the least amount of required contribution from the borrower.

That was because some government program (possibly the Veterans Admin) didn't count prepaid rent as an asset when determining whether he was eligible for services, but cash in a bank account was counted.

I thought that's what Prepaid cell phones were for.

Honestly you can get by just as fine with a 30-40$ a month prepaid plan.
