We were trying to avoid a farm lender given they generally have higher interest rates, but per the above it sounds like that might be worth pursuing.Our short-term plan for the property is to continue to live in it as a primary residence while we continue fixing up the house.

Short-term rental is any rental less than 30 days and is subject to the primary residence rule and require a permit.

Basically, if you are lending on someone primary residence is when things get sticky with disclosure laws, timelines, terms, etc. 

I would use current interest rates and terms for your refinancing calculations in case rates do not decrease.

I'm particularly focused on local STVR (Short term vacation rental) properties that are officially licensed by the county of Hawaii to operate short term rentals.

We negotiated favorable terms with the seller, ensuring a beneficial agreement.

In a long-term context, May vacancy rate is 0.5 percentage points lower than the 4.8% average recorded since the beginning of Q2 2014.Market OutlookREIS's new construction analysts report that 6.9 million square feet of new multi-tenant warehouse/distribution inventory will be introduced to the metro by the end of the year, and net total absorption will be positive 9.1 million square feet.

I reckon I've personally acquired a least three properties on seller terms and have assisted at least three others in three years acquire properties with favorable seller financing. 

So, short notice isn't really an issue in my mind as that really costs me nothing.

Long term parks are more like mobile home parks, but the home is much more mobile.
