It may wipe out lien that are junior to that property, but not to him personally if they are judgements against him or have his personal guarantee.

Besides directtv is not going to work if it’s raining.

You need to take him to court and get a judgement against him.

Does obtaining a judgement help me in any meaningful way?

But if I hear you correctly, you are saying if all things are done correctly all liens and judgements should be wiped out from the sherriff sale if they are junior to the senior lien?

they all come out differently because each profession does it differently and it is something of a judgement call.

The back rent would almost certainly result in a judgement.

I did expense legal, accounting fees during the period as I own other rentals, even though some of the expenses were incurred for the new property.One other reason for using a CPA is you can defer to his professional judgement and if the IRS gets after you, you can point to your CPA.

Perhaps not a common practice but there were my eyes and ears and I trusted their judgement to handle and manage accordingly.

It’s honestly a waste of my time and resources if I’m bringing along market experts such as contractors, agents and photographers and getting detailed information for the buyer, if they’re just going to walk it themselves out of fear.That’s the reason I quoted the book, that paragraph resonated with me and THOSE are the type of buyers that I need to work with; they know exactly what they want, they’re serious and let numbers and “proof” guide their judgement, not emotion.
