Pay for CO to make $40k?
I have a motivated seller willing to sell for $200k renovated, he ran out of money to get CO. Could retail for $249k. I was looking to wholetail it. CO is about $3-4k. Is there anyway to buy this property without having to front the funds for the CO? He wants cash but I did mention owner financing or buying sub 2, but he seems intent on cash.

The seller can't come up with $3000-$4000 for a CO in order to make $49,000? Smells kind of fishy to me. Maybe there's a problem getting the CO.
