Anybody heard of a frivolous mechanics lien?

The article seem to emphasis the cold hearted owner stereotype but I would like to hear some opinions.https://www.yahoo.com/news/landlords-demand-rent-f...Regards,JoDale

I will be doing most of the rehab myself but I will need a reputable HVAC mechanic and painter.

I understand this is essentially the BRRRR strategy but with less of an emphasis on the Rehab portion. 

Check and proactively replace all of the toilet flappers and check flushing mechanism to make sure its flushing efficiently. the flapper(s) could have likely degraded and the bad seal might slowly leak into the bowl and cause a frequent refill of the tank. flappers usually need to be replaced every 5 years anyway since they degrade. toilets have always been a cause for high water usage in one of my condo buildings.

So if your end product is 40k  lets break it down.. not a sales pitch or what you want to hear.your turn key company or provider is going to want to make at least 10k.. that's common in the industry.. that leaves 30k to do all this... your contractor putting it all together wants to make 3 to 5k.. so that leaves say 25k to put it all together.to have a sustainable rental.. you need New mechanicals new roof.. sewer scoped and replaced if needed up graded plumbing and electrical.. new paint and flooring.. cabinets and appliances and hot water heater.. this all cost at least 15 to 20k.. leaving you to pay 5k for the asset...

There are situations where we will put more emphasis on the value add potential than the cash flow.  

I'm not a lawyer but I ask how is this any different from a mechanics lien or a repossession?
