I am a real estate investor who wholesale flips property and also sometimes rehabs properties. I placed a sellers property under a Purchase and Sale Agreement with a closing date a month away from the date of execution of the Agreement. I began to do renovation and continued for about 3 weeks, accruing labor and material expenses. We planned to resell the property to an end buyer as soon as we had the property renovated. Our seller has gone "rouge" on our contract and is now claiming that we are not permitted to finish the renovation and also is claiming that "we" violated the terms of our own Purchase and Sale Agreement by doing "any renovation". We wish to file a lien not only for the costs of the renovation, but for lost profit that we would have received by selling the property at market value over and above what we agreed to buy the property for.
