You simply pay off the loan and he releases his lien.

A broker I had been interviewing told me she has 20 duplexes which they are releasing 5 at a time as to not flood the market, all are 100% occupied with leases.

If that doesn't work pile up all the trash bags in the driveway, light them on fire, and dance around it while body painted in a speedo chanting voodoo curses.  

Buyer backs out & both sides sign a mutual release agreeing on who to give the EM too3.

Funny thing was they were usually people with a mental hang up of some kind or people that didn't want to be found by any one or paranoid, so I didn't take them to serious and asked you seem to be the neighborhood busy body so do you know of anyone who... of course you need to reword that.

When I lay awake at night trying to release my stress from a banker/computer screen day job, I think about how I will tackle a renovation or repair and it puts me at ease.  

My thinking I'd be wasting my time was before I clicked the link, when I got there and saw it was Michael's podcast, my interest peaked from knowing him here on BP.I think Michael is great at marketing, I can tell those who have had "training" in sales presentations, nodding the head, hand gestures that "connect" you with positive body language and asking "yes" questions is trained and not natural for most people.Companies like Met Life and Prudential Insurance, probably have the best one on one training and marketing on the planet, selling financial products is the hardest thing to sell to the average Joe.

You ought to study publicity by subscribing to Paul Hartunian's newsletter and learn how to  create a good ores release and strong bio and get future interviews to position yourself as the regional expert.Don't let up now!

I foolishly entertained the idea that maybe the state would provide a waiver of some kind and release the property from the liens but that would totally defeat the purpose of a judgment lien...that being that the lien attaches as a way to help guarantee the payment of the amount owed and remains a lien on the property until the debt is paid or the property is sold.

Further, if you're financing the rehab work, most HML will escrow those funds and release once work is complete.
