(The investor/friend told him it was a sure deal and he couldn't lose and he'd get his money back no matter what.) The guy has kept saying he'd pay him back when he sold something else of his, but it's gone on for almost 4 years now. We've just discovered by checking at the County Recorder that he's sold some of his properties and not told my friend about it. Is there a way of attaching liens to his properties (like his home and his other investment properties and lots) or can you only do that if you have a TD? Thanks in advance. ============ You have to go to court and get a judgment against the no-good guy. Then after the 30 day appeal period has run go back to the office of the clerk of the court and get an abstract of judgment (AJ) that's signed and dated by the clerk and emblazoned with the court's seal. Take the AJ down to the county recorder's office and record it. At that point the AJ will automatically, by operation of law, become attached against all properties in the county owned by the judgment debtor.
