Hi Everyone,I am sure this question has come up tons of times in other forums but, is it possible to purchase a property if the deed is already in my local town government's name?

There's no downside unless you want to operate like a slimeball and don't want a governing body to answer to. 

You will find it difficult to get a bank to refi a VA (government guaranteed loan) to a conventional (personal).

I still think that it’s better to have paying tenant ;ie government pays than some who doesn’t pay for months.What are your thoughts on this subject?

As with dealing with any government entity, I'm sure it may be a slow process.

Not sure where your investment property is located, but typically each state has laws that govern how much you can charge a tenant for vacating early, so a good idea to look at the statutes that govern your state online.

The government is essentially letting you defer your taxes if you remain fully invested at the current level, which is $910K. 

If it is something I need to get fixed would my local government be responsible for fixing it or would I be?

This was a government mandated shut down and the government and agencies are going to make policies to reflect that to try to protect homeowners.
