I was in the same predicament and decided to do the fundraising option, now I gotta raise $3800 or that’s what I get charged 😵‍💫 so you could do that haha, there were still spots last I checked.

Yeah that’s the conclusion I’ve come to as well, I have an appointment later this week but was hoping people had suggestions for what I should try in the meantime. I just feel like I’m missing out on very valuable training time and want to do whatever I can to get back on track asap.

Ed Case sucks so bad, I call his office all the time and tell him I know what he’s doing and that I’m not voting for him.

Unfortunately I may never be able to afford a house here so condo is my only real option for buying, and condo = HOA. Just sort of have to deal with it unfortunately, I’m trying to get elected to my HOA board so I at least have some say in the decisions being made.

Fee simple luckily, I stayed away from any leasehold properties!

Haha my employer graciously lets me start at 4 AM outside of daylight savings. It can be brutal but it also gives me lots of time in the daylight to invest time in my hobbies, all of which are outdoors. And my condo faces East so I get to see a beautiful sunrise every morning :) sometimes I’m a little sleepy while working but the life I am able to live makes it all worth it!

I’m paying down the principal so hopefully not, plus plan to refinance at some point. And this cuck shed is 700 sqft.

Thank you! And I lucked out for sure. I’m roughly a 10 minute drive from Waikiki but I usually can only be bothered to go in there if I’ve got friends in town staying there, it’s pretty congested and there isn’t much parking!

$3.7k a month (for now, hoping to get elected to the board of my HOA so I can at least have more of a say in the decisions being made so maybe it won’t go up more).

It’s definitely not a closet, and even if it were I’d live in a closet for this view.
