I say Chelsea because I am proud from the very small city that I am from and to have people look up where the city is.I am a Bentley alumni from the Class of 2015 and a bank examiner for the Commonwealth Of Mass.

@Ned Carey  thanks for the replyThe way the recorded lien reads is as follows: " the commonwealth of massachusetts, pursuant to MGL C 118E S 34 and MassHealth regulations at 130 CMR 515.012(A), hereby asserts a lien for the cost of medical assistance paid or to be paid against all property and rights to all property in Middlesex county, including the property more fully described......"

@Matthew Paul - I don't know how title records are indexed in Maryland, however, local government has been keeping records (and taxing owners) for an awfully long time.So, I'd use this as an opportunity to learn something, and perhaps profit at some point of time later, too.Begin by sketching the proximity of the parcel (sometimes called 'locus' in original colony States and Commonwealths) as it relates to other adjacent land parcels.

There are good areas around Lowell near UMass that are solid but for the most part the clientele and neighborhoods can be rough.You could try to bank on a place like Methuen, which had the highest job growth of any town in the Commonwealth in 2014, but it's risky from an appreciation standpoint.As many have said, in markets like these, buy based on cashflow.

It was a hell of a transaction, first considering that the entity in question was a public entity and as a result, RFPs (etc.) were required, and then after all that, consider the engineering challenges of developing  and constructing a structure over one of the busiest highways in the Commonwealth. 

Especially considering I don't have some necessary information, such as the SSN of the deceased.Called up the Allegheny County Register of Wills where to rep told me to call the Department of Revenue in Harrisburg to ask for a so-called Commonwealth Release of Lien.

By putting a rental agreement with the seller into effect, you are affording him all the protections of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' very liberal Housing Court.  3. 

In past commercial deals, I've dealt with Commonwealth, Land Services, and First American. 

A few are Commonwealth, JJ Manning, saperstein, McLaughlin, etc. 

Thus far, we have financed our purchases (or refinanced after rehabs) with a local bank (First Common Wealth), which will only offer ARM (five year with 5.5% initial rate), with a early pay-off penalty of 2%, and a requirement for personal backing (i.e., my partners and I sign for the loan).With interest rates forecasted to increase, we were attempting to secure and diversify our debt with some fixed rate products.
