Default Re: Mechanics Lien on new construction

Nice as long as the developer is honest and actually lists each and every contractor and, more importantly, that the contractor has in fact paid off all sub-contractors. (This is true for a previously owned home that has had some renovations and/or repairs done to it.)

To not have title insurance today is asking for trouble. In new construction, there are just too many fingers in the pot for my comfort. In a previously owned home, there are too many secrets. So, I'd go for any and all insurance.
