the first one on 08/2010, the second one on 11/2011. the property is listed (as exclusive) for a funny amount of $1.7M even though according to ACRIS, the owner shouldn't have more than $800k on debt. my question is, in general, how many tax liens does it take for a seller to be in real distress?

What ya talking about? It was bought in 2001 for $700k. By 2007 the bubble had tripled it. The fact t only has $1.7mm means the 'owners' left a ton of money on the table. By bubble rights, it should have $2.1mm of first lien, $400k of 2nd and a heloc of $100k. That extra $900k in liquidity was all this dufus needed.

Just one more month... The bubble will come back. Anybody got $100k to float this poor swindled 'homeowner?'. Isn't there some Fannie Mae program to forgive all his debt? Who amongst all the RE bulls will start a charity for this lost owner? It'll come back... Therez gotta be some RE Borker funded slush fund to help this guy. Come on! The bubble will come back baby!

LOL the RE bulls and homeowners with equity as only plan for retirement savings SHOULD do the charity. it's in their own self-interest to protect home prices.

i wonder how can somebody have 2 consecutive tax liens on a brownstone in harlem. really, is it that much money? shouldn't be more than a few $10k altogether, it's less than 4% of the debt outstanding.

seems that around Harlem, not every brownstone buyer did their carrying costs due diligence.
