I can foreclose and wipe out this lien, however I would much prefer the DIL path for both total out of pocket cost and time.I would like to respectfully request some help from the massive pool of experience on BP with some strategy advice, advice/tips on locating the lien holder, etc.The summary above greatly simplifies the situation, so please ask any questions of me that need to be answered and I will promptly get the info posted.Thank you!

That is a greatly simplified version.
