How did Obama clear campaign finance rules with the purchase of land from Rezko for only 17% of its value?

Obama
something stinks asked:


Obama couldn’t afford the house he bought in 2004, indicted money launderer and Obama supporter Rezko bought the lot next to Obama to lower the cost. Rezko paid $646k but sold the lot to Obama 3 years later for $100k. Given the timeframe - values rose during that period so the lot should have been worth almost a million.
