I don't know the laws in your state (so talk to a local attorney) but most states allow lien holders to foreclose on property. So if there is a $4000.00 lien, yes, he probably can foreclose. I've seen HOA's do it for less. If a homestead law applies, it may protect you from the lien, but that is state-specific as well. See if a local attorney will give you a 30 minute freebee, or a low cost ($100) consultation. Good luck.
