So I continued paying my Realtor fees but I started focusing more on moving my corporate career to higher levels. 

One would wrap into a 7 yr arm @5.5% to start, IF I transferred over what assets I could for 1% AUM fee - no thanks.

Many sold and went back to buying properties without HOA fees.

If the work is not 100% complete by the end of the Escrow period, loan may implement a .50% (on total loan balance) extension fee that will cover an additional construction term of 60 days.

Again, a rental agent will be helpful in knowing current prices, paying a half or full fee to get them to screen and place a tenant would have the additional benefit of having this conversation with them to gauge your market.Ultimately since you have some flexibility of schedule and funds I would say do your first live-in upgrade from existing funds and get the other units rented closer to full market rate.

However I need to pay them $250 upfront as the app fee.

BUT, be sure there aren’t other fees and such tacked on that you don’t expect.

Also would like some advice on wether I should sell my condo or rent it out, it’s in Hawaii had it since March 2017 for 371000 but after all fees and such it ended up being 377000 at 4% using the VA loan.
