--Can i get home owner's insurance on a home that might be vacant for a while?

--What other problems might prevent me from completing this transaction and making a decent profit (~10-20%)?

1. Unless you are permitted to assign your contract you will have to buy before you can sell.This may be done the same day.

2. Insurance for a vacant premises is expensive.

3. Retain an attorney to insure everything is done correctly. Good luck.
