AKA Work-ready.I purchased the home with an FHA loan, and my original contractor (as required by FHA otherwise I wouldn't have used one) underbid the contract not understanding the inflexibility of such a loan.

In fact it is part of my inflexible "criteria".    

With an inflexible full time job, i am not sure how to pull this off..Any suggestion?

I have found that it is like beating your head against a brick when dealing with banks about these issues, they are very inflexible.  

First, remember the banks are regulated by the federal government and they are required to underwrite conforming loans and second, bank loans tend to be very structured and are generally inflexible to your project needs.

Boards of directors can be very inflexible, YOUR unit may be good, and you may have good tenants, if they allow rentals, but the guys next door may not have good tenants, and that can cause a much more severe problem in a condo or townhouse, but of course it happens even in sfd's.I would, and did, though not at 22, buy a new house and had it rented before it was completed.

Buyers can move away due to the seller’s inflexibility, everything can down hill from there, and truly this should not happen.

Yeah that's the impression that I had, they seemed pretty inflexible, since they seemed non-negotiable on several points, so would I really want to work with them anyway?

:)  I am so used to dealing with conventional lenders I think I've been assuming local banks operate just as inflexibly as the big ones.
