@Matt Morgan Nice to hear from a fellow Nebraskan.

Thanks,YAYES, but only for the 120 days right if redemption that the IRS gets; that date in my area typically starts from when the new deed records.  

You are in the right place if you want to learn and connect with fellow RE investors! 

Welcome to BP fellow Bay Arean!  

Is it possible to draw up a contract that basically says the contract is void if the deal is not met by X date?

Kitchen, bathrooms, etc because they generally look dated faster than the bare walls of the rest of the house. 

@Blake BroomerWelcome fellow Pennsylvanian.It also depends on what activity that you are doing, flipping, buy and hold, rehabs, wholesale, commercial, development, etc.There are tax implications, as well as liability issues, and anonymity also.The PA Dept of State has an online file that you can check to see if the proposed name is in use.In most cases I'd recommend that the entity name not contain either you first or sur names.In any event, the best advise would be to contact a PA attorney to help decide the type of entity, your planned work and possible other parties involved. 

Section 34.03(a), Tax Code, is amended to read asfollows: (a) The clerk of the court shall: (1) if the amount of excess proceeds is more than $25,before the 31st day after the date the excess proceeds are receivedby the clerk, send by certified mail, return receipt requested, awritten notice to the former owner of the property, at the formerowner's last known address according to the records of the court orany other source reasonably available to the court, that: (A) states the amount of the excess proceeds; (B) informs the former owner of that owner'srights to claim the excess proceeds under Section 34.04; and (C) includes a copy or the complete text of thissection and Section 34.04; [and] (2) regardless of the amount, keep the excess proceedspaid into court as provided by Section 34.02(d) [34.02(c)] for aperiod of two years after the date of the sale unless otherwiseordered by the court; and (3)regardless of the amount, send to the attorneygeneral notice of the deposit and amount of excess proceeds if theattorney general or a state agency represented by the attorneygeneral is named as an in rem defendant in the underlying suit forseizure of the property or foreclosure of a tax lien on theproperty.

In order to bring people  (who were all some form of Pagan at the time)  into the Church the early Catholics used a lot of incorporating:  re-working old Pagan traditions into something "Catholic" (which means 'universal' in the original Greek)  to entice people to convert more readily.Although in the case of the Pagan sacred number 13 the tactic was to discredit it instead:  13 became spoken of as "unlucky" and associated with death and bad things in general.It is no accident that Christian holidays all occur on the dates or previous Pagan holidays:  Christmas in on the Winter Soltice, Easter at the Spring Equinox.
