Hey Account Closed - The fact is your porch is likely not code compliant (which most old Chicago porches aren't). 

The MAJOR compliant I am experiencing is what was said or contracted that I purchased by description, exampled through workshop/seminar/camp ect, or mentioned by assistant after speaker finished, is only related by the topic not material or service.

There are many online tenant screening services that make this a quick (and compliant) task.

In some cases I will write my offer subject to the seller making the property POS (point of sale) compliant, meaning clearing any [usually petty] violations the city may have called out, in jurisdictions where POS is required at transfer (e.g. many suburbs of Cleveland).

My favorite thing the Gov has done to support affordable housing is to sue the city of Huntington beach for not being compliant with the state's laws regarding affordable housing and allowing exceptions from the law in Marin county.

US citizens won't tolerate it  They already proved they aren't the most compliant people on the face of planet Earth, even when "the science says." 

It is there obligation to ensure the unit’s are compliant with building codes.

I dont even mind needing to be compliant, as Im incredibly good at it ( Ive taught a Fair Housing class in the past)...but what I hate is how they waste my time.

If someone is still living in a non compliant when you purchase, I think you would be ok as long as you are a good landlord.

You would be the recorded lender (i.e. the bank).A broker experienced with private lending will have a loan package that’s been vetted by a lawyer and possess the ability to ensure the loan is legally compliant and enforceable.
