Quote from @Jordan Sachs: I'm getting the info from my friend not her husband so it is possible something is missing however, I think she's mostly concerned that there is now a lien on the new owner's property and less about paying the actual bill.

Hello, new here to this forum and have recently relocated back to Ventura County, CA.

I have seen it too many times where an investor will buy an older property or even a new build, they net cashflow similar to you for a year ($100-$200 per month) and then a $5,000 repair or insurance/tax hike here hits them and it's a loss - they either get forced to sell or are majorly setback and unmotivated.
