Lien on house

[steve2009]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California.

Hi,
Is it a good idea to buy a house with a lien on it?

The seller request 10k for the Second lien holder on top of the asking price. Is this legal? If we accept the offer will we get clear title?

Thanks in advance.
