This is my first trip into the homebuilt world. I'm probably going to
buy a 90% complete project, and want to know if there will be any
paperwork hassles I'll have to jump through to get it registered.

I realize I won't have the repair authorization as I did not build 51%
of the plane, but what should I look for as far as documentation from
the current owner and what will the FAA expect to see from me?

I have AC 20-27F, but during a very quick glance-through I didn't
notice any specific mentions. Any help appreciated!

Any of the builders who worked on the aircraft can get the repairman's
certificate. The key is that you need to be able to demonstrate that 51% of
the airplane was amateur built.
