In our experience, the #1 mistake landlords make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.

The lien should not effect the mortgage rate but the lender will more then likely require it to be paid off prior to or at closing and get a lien release that can be filed along wit the mortgage.  

The other thing is that your equity in your home always becomes less valuable/effective over time.
