After playing detective, being cross with lazy title service, and driving 8 hrs out of my way (4 hrs each way), I was able to settle the title issue with the attorney that signed a vendor's lien over 15 yrs ago.

Also make sure that they sign a waiver of liability once the work is done so they can't put a lien on your property for non payment if you paid the GC.

For 30K, they offer the following, a six week webinar, 3 day in person tax lien tour into the process, 4 day in person real estate summit. during the last 2 days of the summit, they will take you out in San Diego and you will actually buy a rehab property.

But my main goal is to master this tax lien investing.

They're not obligated for taxes or insurance or liens or really anything. 

As the person providing that 2nd lien against the property, if that property loses value for ANY reason (and not all of them you control) that means my loan is automatically underwater being in the 2nd lien behind your financing to acquire the property.

If I purchase a home in the state of TN from an Irrevocable Trust, can a creditor (not a lien holder) seek relief, payment from me? 

Also, if dealing with just the owner, how do I go about doing a title search for O&E, taxes, liens etc and making it contingent, would there be an escrow we can go through?

You can file with the bankruptcy court what their outstanding debt is but in all reality, you won't see a penny.Now come May 1, 2022 if they don't pay rent.

Get lien waivers for materials and work from the subs as you pay.
