Kind of F#$ked
#16
Please pardon me for not remembering your whole saga. Your stuff is all here and unpacked.

What I did may not be an option, but here it is.

I moved out of the house and used an island moving company. They put all my stuff in a container and took it to their yard. The stuff was stored in the container for over a month. It didn't cost me as much as a storage unit, and the big plus was I didn't need to pack and unpack twice.

Actually I did this twice. Four years later I had the same deal where I had to move before my house closed. This time I was the seller and the buyers had almost endless problems with their closing contingent on THEIR buyer getting her cash funds.

You think yours is bad; it is nothing. Our closing was delayed 90 days.

The drawback with this method is a) you have to pay a moving company, but the good news is you don't kill your back. b) you have to be somewhat concerned with mildew and make sure everything is dry. (There is stuff you can buy to suck the moisture out of the air, and the mildew dampness is just as much an issue in a typical storage place here.)

So, the first time I did this I went to the Cook Islands and stayed in a little rental on the beach in Rarotonga for half the cost of staying in Hawai'i, but the second time I sublet a furnished duplex in Kapoho Vacationland.

I did close my escrow before leaving the country, but the house needed work done, a lot of it, including a new roof, so I couldn't move in for a month.

There are affordable vacation rentals here in various parts of the island.
You could also do a staycation and go to Kaua'i or something. You can still close an escrow if you are in the state (and even from out of state).
