I felt the headache of dealing with that would have been more appropriately wrapped into the loan, so that's the route I took. 2) The market is incredibly hot, but the high appreciation rate (149%) is due to the US Navy closing down a base in Hawaii and relocating the assets to NAS Whidbey Island (30 minutes south of this location), with more future plans to expand the amount of squadrons on that Naval Air Station. 3) Yeah, renting the one bedroom out for $2000 is unattainable.

We've had multiple tenants say they are moving forward on a property only to disappear into thin air. 

Yep, still active in the Air National Guard. 23 years in March.

If you can afford it, buy a single family with ohana in a neighborhood that allows owner occupied air bnb.

Just wanted to clear the air so other beginners don't have incorrect presumptions about brokers.

You need to determine from the Condo documents what the boundaries of your unit are and what things inside that unit and outside the unit that you would need to replace (could include Sheet Rock & Painting, Cabinetry, Fixtures, Heating & Air conditioning Units, etc.).  

I bought it knowing that I always wanted it to be my first rental property, however not sure if the best way to go about it would be Air Bnb or a Management property with a full time renter?

I have done a few BRRRRs over the last few years and rented/sold personal residences with my Air Force relocations.

Adjust for condition and air on the side of being under market.Ask yourself this, is it better to increase rent $50/month every five years or $10/month every year?

I didn’t think the air bnb would do well in ND.
