INVOLUNTARY LIEN DATA

Understanding Liens: Voluntary vs. Involuntary

A property lien is an encumbrance on the property that acts as security for creditors in case their debtors fail to make necessary payments. Voluntary liens tend to be more of a preliminary measure, requiring both the crediting and borrowing party to agree to terms, like a mortgage.


An involuntary lien is a financial hold or legal claim by a third party, like building service companies, lenders, or the government, to secure money owed to them  as a result of some detrimental action or inaction act.

 

Personal Liens:

  • State and Federal tax liens (including IRS liens)
  • Personal judgments
  • Divorce (ownership awarded to one spouse of the marital home)
  • Support judgement (unpaid child or spousal support)
  • Abatement 
  • Bankruptcy

Property Liens:

  • Mechanic's or Construction liens
  • Utilities
  • UCC filing (uniform commercial code)
  • City and County liens
  • Special Assessments

PROPENSITY SCORES

Stay ahead of the competition, and maintain customer loyalty, using these scores to determine the propensity, or likelihood of borrowers taking certain actions.


First American data combines industry-leading homeowner, real estate, and mortgage data with proprietary home finance prediction scores to indicate which homeowners are your prime prospects for refinance, purchase or home equity lending, and now, for default. 

  • Propensity to Default Intel Score
    Using a variety of financial indicators including equity, loan type, ownership, and past foreclosure history get more insight than a simple payment or credit history can reveal. The proprietary model scores each property from 0 – 500. The higher the score the more likely that there will be a default within 1 year.
  • Refi Intel Score
    Borrowers who are likely to refinance in the next 3-4 months. The Refi Intel score can be generated for FHA, conventional and cash-out refinance.
  • Equity Intel Score
    Provides an indication of which homeowners are likely to apply for a home equity loan or HELOC within the coming months.
  • Purchase Intel Score
    Identify homeowners who are likely to sell their current property and obtain a new mortgage in 3-4 months.
