They told him that he could file a complaint and seek reimbursement from the city for damage to his property but then he would face fines for this and that along with possible prosecution to the point where he was basically bullied into eating the cost himself.  

You are suggesting that if I am interested in qualifying for an FHA loan, I should seek employment in the city where I intend on living.

I am currently seeking turnkey SFHs in Raytown to buy and hold for rent.

I was inexperienced and didn't know how to seek help or advice.

Max, typically 1-4 units you can get 20 year / 25% down /4.5-5.5% interest that reset every 3-5 years within limits (2% pts per reset / 6% pts lifetime for example)Once you get over 4 units, they call them "commercial" loans vs residentlal (terminology varies, so sometimes this is confusing) Typically, 20 year / 20-25% down / 5-6% reset every 5 years and have pre pay penalties like 5% first year, 4,3,2,1. 

If a property is under contract to be sold by a realtor, then I don't think the property owner can legally sell the property without penalty. 

personally, i would steer clear of any of the gurus who want to help you succeed for a fee. if they really wanted to help why would they willingly put you in a position to reduce your much needed capital at the onset of your endeavor which is just going to set you back longer. there are lots of mentors who would like to help if you are willing to help them in return. seek them out and save that money for your house, not the gurus mansion.

I just had a lawyer and potential tenant come back with additional language that they could vacate after a 14 day notice with no penalty.

@Ghulam Rasoul Rezai Well what are you seeking in a rental?

Would it make sense for you to seek a joint venture with another investor or a contractor?
