Here is the exact scenario:The property was previously owned by my wife, titled to: Her Name, a married woman, as her sole and seperate property.She owed $275,000 on an interest only loan with a quickly approaching balloon payment for the full balance.After numerous attempt to modify to a 30-year fixed and being denied because of the amount owed she had no choice but to let it go and now lives in my home, which I own, as a married man as my sole and seperate property.A year later, the bank was has been unable to sell the home in a area flooded with REO's and it is now listed on the open market for $60,000.Given my prior knowledge of the properties history and condition, I would like to purchase it as my sole and seperate property and turn it into a rental.I just want to make sure I am not doing anything illegal or anything that would jeopordize my wife, my property or myself.

@Mana Silva Great question, I'm interested in hearing some answers.

I am very disappointed with his work.I've got a great HVAC man, a very good handyman, but the other things?

@Gaither Hendrix talk to this man as he is fairly new in this area but very motivated and is growing quick in this business.

The straw man as you put it is last- he/she get whatever is left over.
