If the reason for needing to avoid financing is due to needing a sharia-compliant/orthodox Jewish/Halal friendly option, I believe those do exist.

@Drew HarrisAs long as it’s code compliant in your jurisdiction that should be no problem.

I hope your agreements are compliant with Dodd-Frank.

Because of what I learned on this site and pod casts, and the people who I have met through the "unofficial" BP meet ups: I successfully negotiated $100k off of asking, got substantial seller financing, got the seller to agree to demo "non-code" compliant work and do expensive sewer lateral work. 

Who does your RMLO work to make sure you are compliant?  

Management is a systems game, and the systems have to be compliant, which is dictated by their paperwork.

Not an easy license to get.Boats will need to be USCG compliant and you'll have inspections, they aren't just checking for life jackets, it's a survey (like an appraisal or home inspection, but worse, like checking air cleaner connections, oil or water leaks, service records, etc.

The tentant was very compliant and took the listing off that same morning.  

Are you making the repairs in order to be section 8 compliant or just because you want to?

You would not want your home to show up and then find out its not compliant ....
