We've discussed using other financing, cash-out refinances, hard money lenders, etc., but just can't bring ourselves to give the lenders all that money as the additional costs and higher rates involved in those types of loans makes the numbers seem worse, and stocks have been a better alternative for us recently than taking out expensive loans for more real estate. 

@Glenn Hamp Send me a DM, let's discuss.

Depending on what you are looking to accomplish long-term, any of the three options you laid out could make sense (as well as possibly others you didn't mention).I will shoot you a PM in case you'd like to discuss your options a bit further.

The only way you could obtain information or coaching was through books and cassettes that were sent through the mail or you have to fly someplace and go to a 3-day or 4 day seminar. 

Hi Yochai,Happy to discuss your investment goals and how we can work together on the legal issues.

Feel free to reach out if you would like to discuss.

Most liens stay with the property, a title company will be your best friend when doing this type of investing, I would be happy to discuss further if you're interested.

Discuss your situation with a local attorney and decide if legal action plus cost is less than what you might get from a suit.

I will throw these talking points out for discussion.
