| Don't lose out on your mechanic's lien rights!! | |
[Back to Page 1] - [Forward to Page 3] If you don't aggressively research the "prelim info" on your construction project(s), you could end up with no payment and no lien rights! Here you'll find ideas on how to do this research in a fraction of the time it would normally take you! In the column on the right, you'll find items that can be used together to help you to perfect and protect your mechanic's lien rights. Bookmark us, our site is PACKED with info for you! Be sure to subscribe to our free newsletter to stay updated on happenings at our site, updates to our forms and ongoing news in the construction world. I use a program titled "NetDetective" when I need to research information for a preliminary notice. I know that many people (like myself) will process at least some of the prelim notices themselves and, as I mentioned on page 1, you've got to get it right and done on time, or you could lose in the end. The two key components of NetDetective are speed and accuracy. The amount of days you are given to file your preliminary notice is not a lot, and you need to get your hands on the correct info as quickly as possible. The people who created NetDetective spent a great deal of time performing searches, studying websites, determining which sites are helpful and "weeding out" those that are not. This is what makes NetDetective such a powerful program. You spend less time searching for accurate information, giving you a fair chance to protect your rights. The very first time I used NetDetective to research and verify information on one of our jobs, I found out that the owner of the project had filed a "notice of non-responsibility form" with the local county office. Usually, that means that a contractor cannot file a lien on the owner's property, when and if the tenant (and/or the general contractor and/or subcontractor) doesn't pay the construction bill(s). Yikes!! Because the NetDetective program cut down on the time we would have spent researching, we had an opportunity to "quiz down" the general contractor to get the full scoop. This gave us a chance to decide whether or not we wanted to do the job and how to handle the preliminary notices, if we did decide to do the job. [As an aside: NetDetective will also help you to find out the truth about anyone, including potential employees. It's frightening these days what the job pool is made up of, there's lots of good folk but the bad ones are there waiting to nail you. One company, looking to fill an accounting position, used NetDetective to do some research on a potential candidate. Turned out their potential candidate was an ex-convict who had served time for committing fraud within his past employer's company!] NetDetective is 100% guaranteed. In the unlikely event that you don't like the program, you get your money back. Try it, it really can save you time. It's an instantly downloadable program and they often give several free bonuses.Part 3 examines EasyLien, a popular program that "knows" the lien laws for you.
