@Jeffrey Evilsizor if the policy covering the property is in your personal name, and you set up an LLC where you are 100% owner, I have a hard time believing the insurance company will come after you.  

That takes time and effort and expenses for due diligence that should be set off by the sale price and I doubt he will look at it that way.You'll get a better deal by making an offer on the whole mess, not cherry picking.Are these to flip or hold, determine that on each property. 

Let me know if you need help setting that up.

Sounds like we have similar objectives.   

Take the second step, and set up keyword alerts for your local area of interest, topics you might be interested in learning more about, etc.  

The lender will probably not object, since it will assume the seller has implemented an estate planning device.

Here are some good places to start: http://www.biggerpockets.com/meet- find and connect with other BP members that are in your area.http://www.biggerpockets.com/alerts - Set up keyword alerts to be notified of the topics that interest you.And, of course thehttp://www.biggerpockets.com/forums - ask any question about real estate!

   There is a property near where i live that I think can get owner to sale to me to be rehabbed and there is someone who wants to buy it after it rehabbed. so how do I go about setting things up?

I am now waiting for this person to set a date to sign the lease and secure a deposit and they are not responding.  

Do I have to have a set end to the construction date?
