Do I put my name down for the "Deed" or will this be left blank until the contract is assigned to my buyer?

My biggest concern is not being able to refinance.

I've got your name and if he ever makes up his mind I'll reach out.

The biggest limfac with a VA loan is if you do SFH and having to live there first.

Hi All,My Name is Matt Gilbert.

@joe bertolino and all, thank you for the names, I greatly appreciate it. 

You will either wait 6 months if you got a loan in your personal name or you can potentially refinance right away. 

My name is Chelsea and my husband and I are starting our REI business.

Namely, the person who is being foreclosed on gave up ownership of the house several years ago via quitclaim to another person that does not appear to be a family member.I'm assuming this triggered the due on sale clause for the bank, even though that took years to actually occur.

@Sean Ryan If I understand the land contract correctly, it's just a form of owner financing and while it might keep the lot in your friend's name while the buyer pays it off, it will still go out of his name once the buyer fulfills the contract and owns the land.
