The sale of the property is recorded on the deed and filed in the land records.Banks file a mortgage lien on the property to secure their interest in the property.

I'm weighing on buying a "A" property though. 1) I heard that section 8 in a way offers downside protection for land lords.  

With weather getting more and more unpredictable, it just seems like something a tenant could complain about that, even if you didn't do anything wrong, could land you in hot water. 

by that time they had burnt down the trailer on the property, not paid rent in months, let the land go and made a mess of things. 

This second document is recorded in the land records so the world knows the property has a claim against it.

Quote from @Luis De la Puente: In your experience, how do you see private money lenders shaping the real estate market, especially for fix and flip projects?

I went to several of the LIOS webinars including that one (those were the highly desirable cucumbers deal where you bought the greenhouse and they held the land correct?).  

The development i'm talking about is taking raw/un-entitled land and turning it into a larger development with finished homes/townhomes/multifamily.For example, we have a few projects (40-50 acres) that we've been working on for over two years that have another 6-8 months until we are able to move dirt.
