-Steven the Tax GuyYour guide to IRS laws, rules and regulations.

They just do not have much experience outside of that retail environment.  

The MLS and realtor boards might have regulations about how a listing reads, but regs aren't law.

Each state has their own RE laws and regulations, so it's good to get familiar with them.

Even mortgage lenders give favorable considerations to those that may have a bankruptcy due to events beyond the applicant's control, like divorce or medical bills.In the eyes of any regulator type, saying they must pass a credit check is not giving any qualification level to be met.

@Jonathan StoneAs I understand the rules and regulations I have to file a permit with Tillamook County, and have an inspection prior to listing.

Try to find professionals who are experienced with seller-financed home transactions—and who have experience where you live, if possible, because some relevant regulations (such as those that govern balloon payments) do vary by jurisdiction.Professionals can also help the buyer and seller decide on the particular agreement that best suits them and the circumstances of the sale.

I just know it takes a lot more research into zoning and city regulations.

Also be aware of strict screening limits and enforced process for screening (first in time) and that its likely we will lose even more rights around screening - our local city councilperson who has been pushing for (and getting) all these regulations has now decided that FICO score is 'inequitable'   (using a different word than they did) and they are pushing to ban that from screening. 

If you could find work in this environment, maybe a builder....where you will meet all the trades...or a city code inspector....so same thing you meet all the trades.Otherwise maybe working in a supply store where you also could meet all the trades.Another alternative is a project manager for commercial construction...that's still moving strong here.Lending I would think would be super tough right now.
