Connecticut has a 6 month redemption period for tax deed purchases.The Connecticut statute specifically provides for an insurable interest in favor of the tax deed purchaser to protect against fire and physical loss to the property during the redemption period.

If you have a large enough pool of captive customers it makes these sorts of businesses great additional opportunities.Another example we have been toying with is a carpet cleaning business.  

Is there something that protects the buyer in this period between the purchase agreement and the closing date?

Even the custom homes aren't really custom.  

If I were to continue doing deals like this would it makes sense and an asset protection structure point of you to transfer my own personal equity into that of another LLC?

I have enough information against him (such as written threats) to be granted a stalking protective order for protection against him.

You are protecting your client.  

Most leases you sign have a clause in them protecting the landlord in a situation where the landlord is unable to deliver to you possession of the property.

And from what I read the state offers more protection.1.

I've been looking to start a PM business and this might be a good way to grow quickly and have some credibility with potential new customers.
