I'm sorry, YurtGirl, but I have to correct one thing you've said, and I say this as someone who has represented sellers of yurts here on the island. On the Big Island (I cannot speak for anywhere else), it is not possible for a buyer to finance a yurt through banks or other registered mortgage companies. It may be possible in other places and, as I said, I cannot speak to financing options other than here. But here, it is not possible. Have you done one on the Big Island? If you have and can give me the name of a lender, I'd love to have it. I spoke to at least a dozen lenders last time I was in this situation and not one would do it. If you know of one, PLEASE share.

John,I am sure you know that"elsewhere" is not possible also.When I was going to buy the yurt in Sea View(MLS # 17003),my friend in real estate who owns the company and has some connections in financial world,tried nationwide - no luck.Of course,we didn't try all the nation...
After almost 2 years on the market the yurt was sold for cash,much less than initially asked.
Hope, the YurtGirl shares info on her lender with us.
