Installment Contract/CFD/Seller-financing:  Not sure how that would affect their ability to qualify for the loan.  

I purchased the property for only $200,000 and figured I could not loose.Repairs included finishing the driveway with concrete, pouring a walkway to the front step, solving a crawl space water retention issue, installing new hardwood flooring, replace all "gold" fixtures with brushed nickel, interior and exterior painting, replacing the septic pump and replacing light fixtures. 

I need a good contractor, plumber, electrician, drafter, stucco repair, garage door sales/install, and a flooring company that sells engineered wood chevron pattern.

If not, I would not be installing a product that costs 10x more than formica.

Since I despise installing the Big Box 10 for $20 light kits, I try to find some interesting lights from these places. 

once you have them on board let them know that your bro-deal pricing is mandatoryyou can have quality carpet installed with high grade pad for $16/yardlot's of ways to improve the next one and make some real doughalohamike

Depending on your plans for the house, if you are demo-ing kitchen cabinets to install brand new once without changing the locations of plumbing and not changing the lay out, then it might be okay to do as long as it passes residential building codes.

In CFD/LC the property is not collateral for a loan, legal property rights are retained by the seller and granted at the conclusion of the installment term.  

When I look over the title commitment it says: "THE FIRST INSTALLMENT OF 2013 TAXES SHOWS NO AMOUNT BILLED.THE SECOND INSTALLMENT OF 2013 TAXES SHOWS NO AMOUNT BILLED.THE FIRST INSTALLMENT OF 2014 TAXES SHOWS NO AMOUNT BILLED .THE SECOND INSTALLMENT OF 2014 TAXES IS NOT YET DUE, PAYABLE OR DELINQUENT." - I found this surprising as well, but my lawyer said there were no red flags.Also regarding the contract:"The general Real Estate taxes95 shall be prorated as of the date of Closing based on \CSSgo of the most recent ascertainable full year tax bill.

TIANot familiar with that one but I simply cutout the poured basement wall & bought a pre-fab plastic unit from Lowes that I installed myself including the large 'code' sized sliding window for egress.
