The thing you need to keep in mind is that you must describe the property in a good manner because a description makes people more attractive.

A lot of homes that  you described could be duplexes or quads, but again check to see what the property is considered by its zoning it plays a huge factor when it comes to property/city taxes.

Despite the cost of his program I am still subscribed to him on youtube because as he is describing things he uses a white board and that helps me learn because I am a visual person.

So cooling the rooms in the summer isnt a problem.I probably didn't describe the circuit breaker box well enough but its in a divider wall in the middle of the kitchen. 

Many of the deals I have done could be described as "too good to be true" to the uninitiated person. 

I'm sure that the solution was as is described in a lot of the posts of this thread.

So the fact that my rehab of $25k is only adding $10-$15k in value to the house over what the rehab costs makes it difficult to negotiate these types of deals I described in the anecdote above.

It sounds as though you are trying to describe a title issue.  

Oahu has been my home most of my life and the one thing I can say to describe this market is that it is EXPENSIVE but can be rewarding.

But if it's a FNMA Hompath REO that 18 page addendum you'll sign says any change in funding source is a breach and they can kill the deal.And yes they will try to, I know because I did exactly what you described even though it didn't change any of the closing costs for them.
