I have dealt with plenty of  pampa contractors that are lien happy.So think about it before you lien anything...it can do a lot of harm for you and your business.

If it's a dime-a-dozen rate/term COVID refi for a w2 employee who owns a single house, has great credit, and has been on the job 2+ years, it probably makes zero difference (will neither help, nor harm, the borrower).

I don't see any harm in requesting the the PM to cover the cost.

We don’t know any PMCs to recommend in the area mentioned, but since selecting the wrong PMC is usually more harmful than selecting a bad tenant, you might want to read our series about “How to Screen a PMC Better than a Tenant”:https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/3094/91877-how-to-screen-a-pmc-better-than-a-tenant-part-1-services-and-processesWe recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

It is fun to hear this banter from time to time because it is entertaining, but it has reached epic proportions and I honestly think it is harming our country for people to be feeding on this negativity and distrust.

For newbies, the key is you can do harm in any path.  

The label on the RoundUp package indicates that affected areas can be replanted within a few weeks, so that tells me it does not remain harmful in the soil for too long. 

Perhaps I am unaware of the harm these transactions have done to the public over the years but again, to me, more harm has come from the institutional folks rather than the private folks.

@James Clayton  this model in my mind is an advanced scheme.. a lot can go wrong for the seller who many times does not realize what they have done until its too late.And in the aggressive CA market  no reason to sell without cashing out.. so I would suspect the homes you would get would be over-leveraged .. and then selling to someone on a wrap this person has no to little equity.. so the chance of a default and real harm to a seller are pretty great.Now I know I am in the minority of those that think Sub too is not appropriate for most transactions..
