I Paid The Contractor In Full… Then The Liens Started

Описание: Ever paid a contractor in full, felt great about the work, and then got hit with a lien from someone you’ve never even heard of? In this video, Toby Mathis breaks down a frustrating (and shockingly common) real estate scenario where subcontractors can file mechanic’s liens against your property—even when you did everything “right.”

Joined by lien expert Jason Zundel, we explain why this happens, what a lien actually means, and why the rules vary wildly depending on your state.

You’ll also learn why homeowners and real estate investors in places like California and New York can be far more exposed than those in Texas, Utah, or Florida.

If you’re improving a rental property or your personal home, this episode will help you avoid paying twice for the same project and protect your investment before the next contractor job starts.
