This document summarizes how selling a home with a lien impacts the real estate process. It explains that there are two types of liens - voluntary and involuntary - and discusses options for resolving liens before or during a home sale. Homeowners can either pay off the lien before listing the home or use sale proceeds to cover the outstanding amount. While more complicated than a lien-free sale, it is still possible to sell a home with a lien by addressing the issue upfront with the real estate agent and buyer.

Chapter 9 Buying a Home
Introduction
Be it ever so humble, the “biggest” purchase you ever make may be your home. Unlike
most other consumer purchases, a home is expected to be more than a living space; it is
also an asset that stores and increases value. The house has a dual financial role as both
a nest and a nest egg.
There are substantial annual operating expenses for repairs and maintenance,
insurance, and taxes. Maintenance preserves a home’s value, insurance protects that
value, and taxes for community services both enhance and secure its value.
A home purchase is typically financed with debt that creates a significant monthly
expense, the mortgage payment, in your budget. A mortgage is a long-term debt that
obligates your cash flows for a long time, perhaps even reducing your choices of careers
and your mobility.
Your choice of home reflects personal factors in your life. These factors include your
personal tastes, your age and stage of life, your family size and circumstances, your
health, and your career choices. These factors are reflected in your decision to own a
home, as well as in the location, size, and use of your home.

Renting a Home
If you have already decided on a goal of home ownership, you have already compared
the costs and benefits of the alternative, which is renting. Renting requires relatively few
initial legal or financial commitments. The renter signs a lease that spells out the terms
of the rental agreement: term, rent, terms of payments and fees, restrictions such as pets
or smoking, and charges for damages. A renter is usually required to give the landlord a
security deposit to cover the landlord’s costs of repairs or cleaning, as necessary, when
the tenant moves out. If the deposit is not used, it is returned to the departing tenant
(although without any interest earned).
Some general advantages and disadvantages of renting and owning are shown in Figure
9.2 "Renting versus Owning".

Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szet...Volition Properties
=== Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szeto) ===
Ever been curious about Real Estate Investing in the US?? At Volition, for the past 14 years, we have been focused on helping investors invest in over $250M of real estate and generate $100M of wealth in the Toronto market, but we are always open to learning more about other business models and learning from other investors.
The US has always been an intriguing market to invest in. But the US is a big place… if you’re interested in investing in the US, you probably have a lot of questions, like:
☑️ Specifically WHERE should you invest?
☑️ What are the best markets to invest in and why?
☑️ How much are property prices there?
☑️ What are the returns like?
☑️ What is cashflow like?
☑️ Compared to investing in Toronto or other cities in Ontario, what are the benefits / tradeoffs?
☑️ What ownership structure should I use?
☑️ What are the tax implications?
☑️ Can I get financing?
☑️ What are tenants like?
Enter Erwin Szeto, a longtime friend of Volition. Since 2005, Erwin Szeto and his team have navigated the challenging landscape of being landlords in Ontario. Now, they are shifting their focus and guiding their clients' investments toward the more landlord-friendly environment of the USA. This decision comes after assisting Canadian clients in transacting over $440,000,000 in income properties. Faced with issues like affordability constraints, tenant-friendly laws, rent control, and rental licensing in Canada, Erwin sees a clear opportunity in the U.S. Here, there is a significant influx of investments leading to the creation of high-paying manufacturing jobs. Erwin and his clients are poised to capitalize on these opportunities where landlord rights are stronger and there is no rent control.
To facilitate this transition, Erwin has partnered with and become a client of SHARE, a one-stop-shop U.S. Asset Manager. Founded by Canadians for Canadians, SHARE enables as passive an ownership experience as possible for landlords in the U.S., while still maintaining direct, 100% ownership.

Selling a House with a Lien

Selling a House with a Lien
by Kevin Brunnock (https://kevinbrunnock.com/author/kevinbrunnock/) on August 19, 2021
(https://kevinbrunnock.com/selling-a-house-with-a-lien/) in Kevin Brunnock | Real Estate
(https://kevinbrunnock.com/category/kevin-brunnock-real-estate/)
Many homeowners find themselves in a position where they must sell their current
home even though there is a lien against the property. They worry that the lien could
possibly hinder their ability to market the house.
What is a Lien
Investopedia (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/property-lien.asp) describes a
property lien as a: “legal claim against property that allows them to collect what they’re
owed.” The two types of liens that are placed on the property are voluntary and
involuntary. Voluntary liens are the most common. They refer to contracts that property
owners know about. Voluntary real estate liens usually involve mortgages and home
equity loans.
Involuntary real estate liens are more complicated and often catch the property owner
by surprise. Some people don’t learn about the involuntary lien until they attempt to sell
the property. Most involuntary real estate liens involve problems with property taxes or
unpaid construction bills.
How Liens Impact Real Estate Sales

https://kevinbrunnock.com/selling-a-house-with-a-lien/ 2/4
Selling a house that has a lien on it is more complicated than selling one that the owner
owns free and clear, but it’s not impossible. There are a few ways that the owner can
resolve the issue.
The first thing the current property owner must do is learn exactly what the lien is.
Sometimes the lien turns out to be an error, in which case the property owner can
dispute the issue. Winning the dispute usually involves proving that the tax or
construction bill was actually paid or was the result of a clerical mistake. The dispute
process will take time and could significantly delay the sale process.
For voluntary liens, homeowners have two options. The first is that they can simply pay
off the lien prior to listing their home on the real estate market. Settling the lien prior to
the sale not only gives the homeowner more freedom to play with the price of the home
but can also speed up the closing process after an offer has been accepted. Realtor
Magazine (https://magazine.realtor/daily-news/2017/12/04/5-most-common-reasons-for-
closing-delays) reports that handling property liens accounts for approximately 11% of
all closing delays.
The other option is to use the money from the sale of the property to cover the
outstanding lien. Since many homeowners lack the liquid capital to pay the lien prior to
selling the property, this is the option they usually opt for. In this case, the homeowner
will want to discuss the matter with their real estate agent and make sure that an
agreement to pay off the lien is included in the final settlement agreement.
Anyone who is even casually thinking about selling a home, should do a background
check on the property and know exactly how many and what kind of liens are currently
on file for the property.
