I filled a mechanics lien, almost 60days since I filed a mechanics lien on the property!! Now I want to foreclose on it

OhioBankruptcy

Filed the mechanics lien on the property 58days ago! The recorded lien I sent certified requiring a signature. Well owner did not go pickup the documents! After tried delivery 2times and a couple notices. So yes documents including the lien are being returned to me. So I took copies of all the documents and posted it at the property where it couldn't have been not noticed by the Realtor that had it listed couldn't miss it! Because the owner lives in another state. Then I noticed. That there was a contract on the purchase of the property! I received a call from the individual's that were trying to purchase the property. They wanted the documents, which were listed as Exhibit A. Exhibit B. I never reserved a call from the realtor, I did get a phone call that came up as my friend who had passed away January 1st, 2022. There was no voicemail left, then I spoke with the individual who was going to purchase the property. They found out about the lien that I had filed and recorded at the recorders office. So I called them and spoke with them and I spent the extra money to overnight it to them with a signature required! Then a day later they wanted to know if I had heard from the owner yet? I told them no I hadn't heard from her at all! No call, no text, no email. They were trying to get ahold of her?? I don't understand why they were not going through the Realtor that they put the purchase contract with?? Anyway the next day I called and talked to them and they had received the documents. Yes they had gotten them and signed the postal delivery document that was on its way back to me! Have not received the signed copy back yet! Well they proceeded to let me know that they were going to purchase a different home. Reason they said was that the owner was going to be a little hard to deal with, and also told me that owner told them that she might come up to Ohio and finish a couple small things mostly 2 rooms needed flooring! Which the owner said in the real estate listing that owner would not pay for the 2 rooms that were prepped by me just waiting on the her?? But stated in the listing that she was not going to put up the money for the flooring! The Realtor had suggested that she do that a month ago before he had listed it. She refused. Okay, so I don't know what she the owner is going to do. But anyway I noticed today that the property is no longer listed on the market, or with any realtor! And for that reason, that she will not sell it now and maybe rent it out? Or just sit on it for years?? Who knows?? So this the reason I would like to file Bankruptcy on the mechanics lien ,so I can get paid sooner the maybe 6years from now, or not at all! There is no mortgage or other lien,s or judgments against the property! So the only party that would need served notice of intent to foreclose, and then proceed with the bankruptcy filed on lien. So what should be my next move?? Thank you
