The hard money lender will also be doing the paper work etc. so you just shadow that as well.recommend that you fund 100% of the deal and avoid for your first time a co Beneficiary transaction.. ( which is basically what crowd funding is  IE bringing a bunch of small investors into one loan)...

Generally speaking, you'll still pay as much to demo, as hauling off the debris is the expensive part (and it's unlikely the fire department will do that for you)...The benefit is that you may get a tax benefit by donating the house to the jurisdiction for use -- of course, it will depend on whether it is "safe" to burn the house down for training purposes or not. 

That will allow you to earn money transacting in real estate which I believe is your intention.Your not going to be able to find (m)any agents who would be willing to work with a buyer interested in those strategies.

It's best to negotiate directly with a seller, because the solution of an owner financed transaction requires a fair amount of motivation, and you wouldn't be able to offer a solution to the seller if you can't talk to them directly about how your solution will solve their problems.

Alb My default is to wholesale SFR properties but I do other types of transactions as well. 

I have done a few transactions like that personally in both the residential space but primarily in the self storage space.

I've had places with flaming code violations that managed to sell and close because the appraiser didn't know and the town didn't check for those specific issues (I'm thinking specifically of furnace issues).If they're just backyard projects, they may just need to be cleaned up and made safe/secure before closing.
