If one lien (i.e. the deed of trust) has already been recorded, then your lien would be recorded next and you would be in second position.Any escrow and title company can handle this transaction for you but not all have paperwork that will adequately protect you.

This can range from minor inconveniences to the title company not recording the deed.  

The purpose is so  we can spend more time working in ministry, be more generous, travel, and be in control of our time and energy and not have someone else allocate those resources to suit there own purposes.

I've flipped multiple SFHs, but this would be my first commercial deal.I've talked to several lenders, but they all have one or more issues, such as needing 25% down when I can only do 20%, proximity of property is too far from a major city (I'm in WV and no city in the entire state has more than 50,000 residents), I don't have any commercial experience or track record, etc.Therefore, I'm now contemplating asking the seller to consider leasing me control of the property for 2 years with an option to purchase within that time frame.This would provide me with the following benefits:allow me to negotiate the upcoming lease renewal of a major tenant,give me time to come up with a larger down payment,give me time to establish experience managing commercial property,give my new LLC time to establish a track record and income,give me time to find a lender willing to work with me.I will also need to pay the current listing broker their fee, and I would need to pay a deposit and monthly lease payment to the current owner.My questions are:Does anyone have experience with such an arrangement?

I am looking to establish a track record with a short sale lender, so if and when credit gets tight, I can have access to funding for short sales.

Agree with @Mike McCarthy on keeping track with good records on a spreadsheet.
