@Twana Rasoul - that advice makes me a bit nervous. 

But on the other hand, if the seller wants close to retail, but there are a bunch of major issues, then it's just not going to work as a BRRRR.but i am going to be honest - i think from looking at your other posts that you are trying to BRRRR out of state, and so this question makes me nervous for you. 

Personally, I'd be nervous to not get some type of deposit from my guest because I like for them to have "skin in the game" 

I’m saying I’m nervous that the appraisal won’t go all the way too current fair market value.

I am getting nervous over potential issues with the house or the loan options, and the prospect of either being pushed into a bad deal or losing $50k in a nano second.

I put my sister who lived in section 8 housing as a 40% owner on the deed and she moved in paying the mortgage which was much less than the rent she was paying in rent.

I would say 80% of homes at inspection have some evidence of insect or rodent droppings somewhere.The way I am reading what you are writing is that this is not a mold problem.

I have a vast degree of experience in section 8 rentals myself.

We have a well known RE attorney here that says we should be able to quiet the title but it all makes us very nervous.

Just nervous about the darn Hurricanes.
