A house with one exterior door

So I've been working in real estate for 14 years and I must say that this is a first. I'm working on a FHA assignment and the home was completely renovated, but only has one exterior door. Each room has a window, but it appears the rear or side exterior door was/were removed/blocked and covered over. Reasonable common sense tells me that a home should have at least two means of main egress/ingress such a doors/sliding glass doors for safety reasons. However, I have scoured through the FHA manual and can find nothing that stipulates that it must be so. Has anyone here ever been involved in a transaction where there was only one door in/out, whether ye be appraiser, realtor, buyer, seller, or your mom? I'm mostly just curious if anyone else has seen this and had an issue with this, but I still plan on taking the following steps regardless in order to verify:

  1. Check local building code (Ohio)
  2. Call FHA for confirmation of acceptance or denial

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
