Liens can be paid when the house is sold and don't normally prevent a sale.

How will you prevent theft?

I don't think they are necessarily a bad thing, but to prevent that, you'd want to write a very narrow set of Declarations for the HOA.

My goal is to get enough rental properties with passive income that will prevent me from working a 9-5 when I retire.

On the other hand, whoever built my house didn't think it was necessary to install flashing between the deck and the wood siding. 50 bucks worth of flashing would've prevented a lot of rot.

A notice filed of an option does not prevent it from being sold, neither does a ROFR, as you can't hold a seller to an open term for such a right, you make the offer to sell, they don't buy within the time frame which is required for a good ROFR and if they don't buy the seller is free to sell.

It also prevents you from wasting time knowing that you can purchase with a new mortgage.3.

The potential "tenant" came to you on the day of move in and said, "look, here is the rest of the deposit, but I'm going to move in next month and prevent you from earning a months income because it's not convenient to my move-out date."

It can be awful to live in and maintain if it's it the shade or if there is not enough circulation to prevent it from blackening from mold and mildew.

Has anyone used this type of preventative maintenance in there own units.
