Hi,

Wanted to touch base to see what you would say is the best skip trace? Do you recommend anything compared to Transunion?  Many times the owner of a property has passed and need to contact the relatives, I know transunion is very good, want to know if anybody else has any recommendations for any others?

Thank you

Has this happened to anybody else before? this is a first for me.

Bought a property about 4 weeks ago, and then 2 weeks ago mailman brings a certified mail, i open it up and it has a mechanics lein against me for the property i just bought...........  so i contact my attorney and scan copy and send it to the sellers attorney, they claim they have " no idea what its about" so I contact the company that filed the mechanic lein and they say "the seller owed us money and was really sleezy, they asked us for more time, then when we contacted them they said they sold the property, so we filed a mechanics lien against the new owner (which is me)" 

Can they do that? this previous contractor, i never hired them, or have any agreement with them, or know who they are.......  When I looked it up it looks like it is a false mechanics lien against me, and the company needs to do go after seller for money owed between them....  

does anybody have experience with this?

@Pedro Alvarez hi Pedro congrats on the deal, New Haven is a great market, wanted to ask you, how much did you purchase for? what do you see rentals going for?

 Sounds good!!!

@Robert Washington. WOW congratulations!!! that is a great feeling and keep it going, would love to hear more about the deal, how much where they originally asking? how did you find the prop? 

wow very interesting, YOU ARE LUCKY, in NY and no evictions happening at all, for a while!!! 

 How have you had eviction?

don't worry, make offers and put property under contract.... once it is under contract and you have a deal, the financing is the easiest part to figure out.

Hi, you are taking a great first step.  NYC (queens) is super competitive, a lot more than lots of other areas in the country.  What I would recommend is to try to do some wholesaling.  (you will need less money to get in, you find a deal, flip the contract, then you can do some buy and sale.

-all the best

Hi Kari, that sounds like an annoying tenant, but kind of makes sense because probably this is the first time the child is living on their own and the parent is concerned because there are issues.  I know you don't want to hear this - but you say there are issues you didn't know about it because it was empty for 3 years... honestly to me that's not an excuse.... you would have saved yourself headache, and you should have done your own inspection because you know its been empty for 3 years... so you should have checked yourself to see how it is, what needs to be repaired, then you would have not had this issue to begin with. (saying it respectfully, I have learned a lot of stuff the hard way like all of us here have). just be respectful, and fix whatever issue it is, then I am sure everything will be fine and you won't have to deal with the parent anymore....good luck
