In the world of real estate, there is another type of concern when it comes to the term "lien." Construction liens are a common issue in the industry, as any party involved in providing goods or services on a job site can file a formal lien on the property if they are not paid. This includes contractors and suppliers who may not have been paid by the homeowner or general contractor. It's important to ensure that everyone is paid what they are owed and that sworn statements and lean waivers are used to manage payment.
