Fair warning he loves to talk, so we got to know him well very quickly and respected him even more.

That is, a "subordinate" lien was recorded subsequent to (after) the senior (earlier) liens.The text you quoted, then, is probably just an acknowledgement that this lien is a junior lien with respect to any recorded before it.

The agent has a fiduciary responsibility to the seller first so don't ask questions that could put them in a difficult place - you will quickly lose their respect.  

If not, you have just done what nobody does (follow-up) and the broker will respect you for that and you will have separated yourself from all the other investors who drop the ball and don't follow-up.This sets the stage for your ultimate goal= "The Pocket Listing"If you need any help...

My tenants respect me and I respect them. 

On top of this. remember to setup a HELOC on your house before you move out. this allow you to access the equity of the house without selling it.One random investor told me that fix up your rental as if you don't mind moving in. screen your tenant super hard but then treat them with respect and dignity. you will have long term tenant and they will stay with you for a long term.

You can and should expect higher quality and have enough respect for your own investments to demand that quality from the property and company you work with.  

I am happy to announce that I have acquired my first fourplex on 9.16.16 after doing my due diligence in more than 40 properties and visiting more than 10 respectively.

Much respect.

Also, in respect to the multiplex, duplex, etc, how does one find the owner without an agent?
