Obviously, an Executed assignment contract, and the executed purchase agreement that you are assigning.

Whether or not you test, definitely post the disclosure in the MLS so it's executed with the offer, not a surprise later.

But if no heirs step forward to open a probate or execute the transfer, you would have to do it.

Does this leave my wife vulnerable to liability issues if she is on the financing but not involved in my LLC or blanket insurance policy?

I am from Hanover Park, IL ... about 30 miles outside Chicago and I am looking to execute buy and hold strategies along with a flip or two per year.

One is that many people don't have the patience, expertise, credit, etc. to execute the strategy you're describing.

For example, a seller and his partner spent about 45 minutes on the phone going over a home inspection I had performed on a property, and later sent me a detailed report of repair with pictures; and the marketing executive has made himself available day and night to answer questions.

Make sure the contractor can actually execute within the bid they make.

I think I have a good basis, but don't quite have the knowledge to execute deals step by step.

Start trying other new strategies, craigslist ads are free and easy, maybe try your first yellow letter campaign, bandit signs... focus on 2 or maybe 3 marketing campaigns for a reasonable amount of time, execute each of them, track them and adjust them.
