Instead of giving notice to everyone with an interest in the property that they may lose it due to the taking, the feds publish in some obscure place one time that the property has been seized and that anyone with an interest needs to step forward to make a claim within a short amount of time.

This is the classic example of, "I don't have enough leads coming in so I'm going to try to make a deal out of anyone who calls... just because they called."

Good resource.Also check IREM.org They publish reports and books on property management and its licensing requirements.

Classic troll behavior in this thread, Karen nails all of the Greatest Hits:- Comes looking for help, starts by belittling a polarizing group of people (realtors) in hopes to drum up support for her cause- deflects any and all blame or responsibility for her situation- quickly realizes that everyone is not on her side- offers support and kindness to those who agree with her plight- constructive criticism or actual actionable advice is met with personal insults, threats of physical violence, and questioning of one's political affiliation- ironically insults the intelligence and/or grammatical shortcomings of 'detractors' in several overly wordy, poorly written, and grammatically unsound posts.- mystical tales of connections with untold wealth and previous successes rendering the opinions/advice of her detractors moot.- continues to be blinded by how her attitude and behavior are the primary cog in this.Me:

That would have been the classic killing the chicken to get the egg... 

I've learned that even though @Cameron Norfleet was asking a question without stating his opinion, someone can threaten to publish it against his firm... and lastly, I've learned that even if a landlord hasn't discriminated, his ignorance can still be shown.

There can also be people who want them for a classic car or a storage unit.
