I signed a WS contract with a seller this week....after which I discovered he owes more on the property than the contract dictates that I pay him: we agreed upon $85,000.

It's a bit old school but the price is reasonable. there're better systems out there but you pay for the premium. 

You can use it to secure a loan, usually between 75-80% of its value, giving you the financial muscle to pay cash for your new property in Florida, in your preferred areas between Port Saint Lucia and Melbourne/Viera.For example (I'm making assumptions):Imagine you're selling your Kentucky home for $400,000.

Probably also safe to assume it wasn’t investors bidding it up and most buyers aren’t investors and the buyers willing to pay the most aren’t investors.

@Kev Li    is the large purchase something you are going to be able to pay back quickly? 

Additionally, as reflected on your Appfolio Owners Statement, the tenant attempted to pay rent, albeit all 3 times it was returned as NSF. 

Some of the usual reasons why people would sell to these companies: If there is money owed on the house, the house is in terrible shape, you don't feel like dealing with selling it, or you don't want to pay realtor commissions.

What are you guys paying per sqft for per unit?

Debt is not a bad thing, and you can always use the additional cash flow from a property to pay it down quickly if that is part of your goal. 

Instead of resolving the issue, he’s threatening to place a lien on my property unless I pay him.I want to understand how does this lien work and this one example, I have such few examples with handyman, plumbers etc  they always keep threatening if you don't pay us we will put lien on your property.
