I think that more lien filings are inevitable. Followed by more foreclosures unfortunately. The issue in VA will be that the owners may pay what they owe, preventing a foreclosure that may be the only way to turn a judgment into money.

Hey Chris. That’s a good point about VA law and the so-called “payment chain.” We have a post on the VA Payment Chain, and the rule that owners must only pay for a project once, scheduled in the next few days.
But you’re right about the problems facing contractors who file liens late, or in Virginia even those who file it on-time, but just after the owner has depleted all of its funds.
I look forward to seeing the post. Let me know if I can help out with that. Thanks for keeping the importance of liens on the front burner.
Another article from another business journal (Boston, MA) about increase lien filings.
