I would be hesitant to say its not required in Alaska, Mike.

When I wholesale a deal I require the buyer to pay all closing cost.

Folks just have to realize NO money up front and especially.I wish BP would be able to tag the American Greed episode on REmington financial and tag Ingrid Robinsons website .. these were classic cases of fake lenders.. with Ingrid being the victim and taking down Remington who had been doing this for over 20 years.. those guys had some cajones they took Due Diligence and deposit money for all those years but never over 10k so anyone complaining it would not go anywhere.. it was said on the show that in all those years they closed no more than 3 or 5 loans.. both the principals got major prison time.the issue today is most of these folks are hiding on the internet or are off shore very tough to catch and your not getting any funding or money back thats a given.

The required class seems to be a bit more hit or miss.

We don't require Saturday to Saturday, but do encourage it.

You'll likely see that some (surely not all) of the folks that are pretty full for Summer are giving their place away and leaving money on the table.

Before signing the lease with these new folks, I re-confirmed with existing tenant that they still wanted 2/29 move-out date, and that they were able to have the apartment move-in ready condition for that date.

A 15 year mortgage requires you to pay whatever the monthly payment is with no flexibility, with a higher payment.

They do require that a permit be acquired (super easy) and hotel tax get paid (a little more complex but there are ways to make it easy), but otherwise there are no regulations to speak of.  

@Jonathan Krystinak...I second Orlando, and our area has tons of properties that are designed specifically for for folks who want to spend some time here, and rent them out the rest of the year.
