Yo BP, I closed on a house the other day, but at the same time the foreclosing trustee was auctioning off the house at the courthouse steps in Virginia. I know, this is weird. Apparently the listing agent didn't think it was something us, as the buyers, should've known for whatever reason. We could've closed the day before...... SO the house did sell, and the buyer put up his EMD. In VA it's 10% of the Purchase price. My title co. recorded my deed, but did not release my funds to the seller's mortgage co.

    The next day, a rep from the lender says they're going to cancel the foreclosure sale and go w/ my sale, which was a bit higher.  Fast forward two weeks, we've finally got notice from the foreclosing Trustee the lender is generating a new payoff for us.  My question:

Has anybody here had a bank cancel a foreclosure sale that has taken place, to then go with another offer from an on market property?  Thx BP, You all ROCK!!!

yes, but you'll have to get a court order to locate the beneficiary of that trust.

SOOO. short story long, I tried to get the police involved, they wouldn't touch it.  I had several people try to move it, they couldn't.  Finally after 2 months, I just paid $1,500 to a local tow company and they pulled it out, and took it somewhere, I DON'T KNOW WHERE!  

   I guess I couldn't waited on the law, and maybe pulled it into the street, but it was money well spent.

OK, just got off the phone w/ Virginia VDOT, they said they can't help me.  They are in the business of dealing w/ the roads.  I'm calling dmv now.

Three years????

Call Department of Transportation. Tell them you are a Landlord and a former Tenant abandoned a vehicle on your property. They can give you the forms and instructions. I've done this several times and it usually takes about 60 days and costs $150 or less.

Another option is to just call a tow company that's willing to take it. You pay the tow fee and then the tow company can deal with getting a title and disposing of it.

Well, @Account Closed, I try not to think for politicians.  Over the past few months I've attended several city counsel meetings that were attempting to ban short term rentals.  I'm not sure how the powers that be will vote.  But, inside those meetings, things did NOT go pro landlord.  It seems to be falling suit all around the country.  Could this be the same?

So I read last week the politicians in Richmond, VA voted down a bill to stabilize rent in the state. HOWEVER, don't get too happy yet. The Virginia Housing Committee did create panel to do a feasibility study on rent control. I have friends in NYC and they tell me of horror stories of tenants using the rent control laws to drag out leases for years.

     Being a landlord, on one hand I feel like I should be able to charge whatever I want.  On the other hand, rents are out of control here in Hampton Roads Virginia, which I'm sure are everywhere else, and some people are going to really get pushed out of the market for single family rentals.  

      Perhaps people will have to simply start living w/ extended family and friends, I know I have in the past to save money.  But, what are your thoughts on rent stabilization pros and cons for us and the market...  Further, it seems like states like to follow suit with other states, just like the short term rental regulations, so I won't be surprised is these ideologies move state to state too..
