Even if the property owner LLC is named as a co-defendant for construction related liability if you implement the steps I mentioned in my earlier post,  in most instances construction related liability can be deflected to Builder or responsible sub contractors. 

@Mike Sferayou got some great responses to this including from @Kevin Sobilo and @Bill B.there is no right answer to this question.right now, i am looking to minimize outlays on rental properties, and am having success with seller financing. 

So far he has been very responsive and goes over and above for sure.

Readers should seek professional advice.Thank you for your wonderful response, Ashish!

Based on your response that's where I'll begin then follow up with a contractor for the ticket price.

Quote from @Josh Madigan: Thanks for the response, this makes sense.  

These properties can often be acquired through creative financing methods like:Seller Financing: Negotiate flexible terms with motivated sellers who want to avoid traditional bank processes.Lease Options/Subject-To Financing: Take over a seller’s mortgage without assuming full responsibility, especially for properties needing renovation.Creative Terms: Adjust terms to fit market conditions, like offering lower down payments or longer payoff periods.Staying connected with investors and tailoring deals to current conditions can help you secure opportunities even in challenging markets.

They do a good job being responsive and getting things done, but the final result was just not there for us.

thank you for your time..That response is very fair.

Hi Brian, Yes I did a bit more research after the initial response and found the same information you just described.
