(Modern Real Estate Practice)So an IRS lien will not always win over others, but I believe Wayne is right in this case  - the buyer's IRS lien will be superior to the mortgage lien - not because it's the IRS per se, but because the filing date of the IRS action preceded the creation of the mortgage lien.

A deal that is good for both sides is a win win.

Your degree has nothing to do with REI.Everyone holds on to horror stories about being a landlord or hears the "millions" someone made in real estate in a matter of few years (sometimes BP podcast is guilty of this).But the reality is that REI is a long-term investment strategy for most (buy/hold) that creates wealth and cash flow for years to come but no instant millionaires - not by a longshot.

I actually tested using buckets to transfer it, but frankly that was a little too tedious and time consuming for my liking haha.I think I've found a win-win situation here though.

It was a win win for him to foreclose.

Tenant received rent rebates and held control of my vacant lot, and preventing me from developing it, for 2+ years without having to pay rent.Three years later identical case, different tenant, home destroyed by fire, except this time I wanted tenant to uphold their lease requirements, and I expected easy win based on previous case and surprisingly having the same adjudicator.

Otherwise you are wide open for one of the non-selected to file a complaint and most likely win

That doesn't mean they will win, but even the person getting sued loses because of the cost of legal defense.

I get to work from homeI get to work part time and last year I made $96,833.00.This investing technique is the future of investing and even if someone owes more than a home is worth the longer it takes to build equity the more money I make from the monthly income I receive.Full disclosure is very important, the benefits for the seller even if it takes longer for the price to go up and we extend the lease option the seller will avoid short sale, foreclosure or bankruptcy and continue to receive the benefits of the tax write off without the headache of being a landlord.the benefits for the buyer is they build up down payment, build their credit and the longer it takes for the value to increase the more money they save and the more they are able to build their credit and the better loan they will get.So with the lease option everyone wins and it doesn't matter if the seller owes more than the value because the future value required in the contract and the required value in the contract for the buyer makes it so everyone will profit it is just a matter of time.Marv Rousselow

It's a win-win for me.
