Court records also indicate the foreclosure did in fact occur.But when I call the VA offices theyre saying that they have no current record of it (and that unless I can legally present the previous owners social security number, they cant look into it any further).And when I call VRM Mortgage Services (the guys who take care of their foreclosures), they also claim to not have it on their records.Almost feels like both parties (the VA office and the servicer) each think the other owns it?

Buy hold and rent is a nice wealth building safety net back up plan.
