(Since they can sell right up until the confirmation of sale, sounds like a bit of a loophole, eh?)

So that’s a small loop hole you can use.

"blanket discrimination against felons"I think these ordinances will be deemed unlawful or overturned or changed and watered down to a point that they don't have any real teeth to the ordinance.A felon is not a federally protected class.Blanket is the key word you used which would imply SWEEPING discrimination which would be almost impossible to prove.A landlord would simply find another reason not to rent to them.Just like a contract there are always more loopholes to use if you don't want to do something.

The loophole seems to be commercially zoned property...

With the property we were looking at it would be a basement conversion, so with the same search it looks like we would have to permit for that.If anyone knows of a loophole for the RV, I would be all ears!

This is not allowed, but using some creative loopholes it is.

The risk being if the loophole changes, or for some strange reason you end up in a situation where you have to prove your intent.

It does nothing but encourage the listing agent to reveal to other buyers/agents what the sales price homepath would agree to and then come in and offer a notch above that to take it.And anybody that has seen the Big Short can tell you that where there's a loophole in the system, there's a way for fraud to creep in fairly easily.
