@Jacques Wurms hey send me more info on this 150k deal maybe we can syndicate the transaction. 

Matter of fact, it has most of the fast-food restaurant chains, shopping centers, etc...

Jeremy Clarke Not an issue transaction wise, however, selling it to you might create a capital gains problem since she's been there 30 years.Selling it for less than it's worth to avoid cap gains can create a gift tax issue for the equity involved.You should speak with a CPA about doing it in a way that avoids any issues.

I know I can get the information through the county recorders offices... follow chain of title through deed transfers, easements/ccrs/special rights would all be on the deed, right?

I am looking for an investor friendly Attorney who's well versed in dealing with wholesale transactions.

You can advertise you have a contract for sale.Get a sale and purchase agreement that can be legally assigned and sold for an 1 to 2% assignment feeIf you don't want the rehabber to know how much you paid for it, find transactional funding or get on title somehow with private lender funding or find a joint venture partner to provide funding or get on title with Hardmoney lender funding so that you can buy at first and then resell it.Illegal Wholesaling only means that you're not telling the truth to the seller, and you have no intention of ever buying it, hence the reasons for all of this loud noise about illegal wholesaling.Wholesaling is legal in every state as long as you follow good business practices.

At that point you've structured the transaction so she avoids SE tax. 

And cross your fingers.But yes, absolutely if you have a special house that is the crown jewel, you SHOULD be setting record comps.

I know there are other important aspects to the transactions.  

They have legacy issues and until they break those chains and turn their lives around they will continue to have high drama lives and live hard in those units.
