there's too much turmoil with respect to legislation at the state and local level.  

The result is a continual change in the laws due to changing legislation and regulations issued to oversee compliance with the laws.

Mindy, Bill is absolutely right, depending on the jurisdiction.New York State has taken action against vacant homes that owners cannot be found: NYS Zombie HousesHere is the NYS Finance Dept Link: NYS Zombie InfoIf vacant owners and banks are so easy to find, then this legislation is superfluous.

As mentioned above, look up the abandoned property legislation in your area for guidance on how to handle the truck. 

So is this now set in stone or subject to other legislation?

Again I have only done VR in Nashville and it is booming, but the word is out and everyone is wanting a piece. l think pending legislation, if passed, will ultimately cause many to get out which will lower competition.

Let me add my two cents here as well, as an interior designer from the San Francisco area who has had reason to thoroughly research the laws regarding who can build what where for legislative purposes, and who is a bit of a code geek. 

Last but not least the incoming administration and the Real Estate Lobby will use their power to force the Congress to pass meaningful legislation to tame the "Student Loan" 800 lb gorilla.I'm very excited about the opportunity the market has to offer and I'm working on Realtor License for State of Michigan.Incidentally, I'm in a midst of coaching/helping/assisting my first millennial client in buying his First Investment Property.

But I believe it is just due to poorly crafted legislation where owner occupied multis were not considered.
