Jake Kucheck Haven't been to that meeting yet, conflicts have prevented it, but I am going to try to go in the near future.

My concern with this plan is my debt to income ratio preventing me to buy my forever home.

When we advertise we always include the monthly rent in the ad, to prevent a lot of inquiries expecting lower rents.

And YES, they can be released.I negotiate with the IRS for a living.A LEVY is when they acquire the assets.The lien is to prevent transfer without them being paid.

Originally posted by Dean Letfus:J Scott Record an abstract of the contract with the county register and or put a lien against the property would be 2 options.That would work in the case of a lien-holder who checked title prior to recording a lien, but I'm not sure it would prevent a contractor, for example, from recording a lien.Not sure I can think of a non-convoluted situation where you could get screwed by this, so perhaps it's not a big deal, but it just "feels" like there is a situation where the seller could do something stupid to purposefully or accidentally screw you over.But again, nothing obvious comes to mind, so maybe I'm over-thinking

This is why people pay the almost $1,000 for title insurance is to prevent this very issue and why they are agreeing to pay.Don, are you recommending waiting for what they come up with then base the decision on that?

It's much easier just to re-lease the place.To prevent this, I would spend more time screening your tenants.

I really don't have a good answer as to how to prevent this - but I'll at least bump this thread to see if anyone else knows.

You could write for use and occupancy on the receipt and i believe this prevents you from having to start the process all over again but she does not have a track record where i feel that you can risk taking a chance with her, cut your losses and run.
