Default Re: Changing ownership without hurting SEO ranking

Well considering that the content you will be putting on their will more than likely be far better than whats there now, you should be ok.

The biggest issue is if (when) Google and the other search engines "reset" the domain after it changes ownership. This will could cause the biggest change in your rankings, because you will lose most of the backlinks that the domain currently has. I have no proof of this, but I have seen it happen on other domains transfers.
