Ask what you can expect in those departments. 

There are other rental assistance programs available through churches, Department of Family Services, etc.4.

@Michael Kidanemariam Your city planning department will likely shut you done without a permit on a project like this!

As such they have tons of deal flow and I suspect an OREO department that you maybe able to get some traction with. 

Will I owe any money to the the sheriff's department to get the property back?

So, if there is a local planning and building department, typically, permits would have to pulled and building inspector/s would inspect the construction, during and/or after, to ensure it meets their standards.

. $135 to register, and that includes your first inspection which is good for 3 years, then reinspections are something like $25 every 3 years, and the inspector will only charge you once if you do all your properties at the same time.The registration is run by the fire department, so they focus exclusively on fire code compliance.

Check with your local building department to see what you're allowed to do drawings for, if you want to go that route.

Virginia's department of fair housing through DPOR offers lots of free training. 

Your law says you have a responsibility to market the property and try to find a replacement tenant, then you can only charge the departing tenant up until the new tenant takes over.However, you can negotiate something with the tenant, if the law allows.
