We contested the lien, but it took a couple weeks to even get them served with the notice, as they had the wrong physical address on their corporate docs. 

Just wondering if everyone here has a tax id # or dba, corporation, etc...we currently own a couple of rental properties and we don't have our own company..we just include the income/info on our personal income taxes.

I am currently an architectural designer (I assist on the whole process from SD, DD, CD, to CA work) at a design firm that specializes in corporate headquarters, educational, and big creative workspace developments.

You can get a much better rate, it is through a 3rd party, and you are dealing with a large corporation.

(I did a little REIT work too during my very brief sojourn as a corporate lawyer.)  

Escaping the corporate ladder

Make contact with a tax lien buyer, prefab ly a corporation as they will have a godly number if them and see if they are willing to assign a lien to you that is at the twn year period or at OST ( order setting time) which is the deadline the judge gives the property owner to come up with the money.

If that is the case, the insurance company will fight the battle.If not, you will need an attorney.Lesson learned is:1. you need to know who you're hiring and get copies of their affidavit of insurance 2. your corporation needs to be structured properly and you need your own proper insurance3. the buck ultimately stops with the property owner4. if you're in the real estate business, you will be suedBest of luck with this!
