In an effort to deal with the growing number of foreclosures on the market, yet another program has been proposed. The Right to Rent Plan would actually allow distressed homeowners to stay in their homes after the foreclosure sale ... by paying a fair-market monthly rent to the "landlord" (the lender who foreclosed on the former homeowner).

One of my staff members recently sent me an article about a group of condo owners in Chicago who are taking a stand on the eight or so neighboring condo units that are in various stages of foreclosure. Members of the condo association are knocking on doors in an attempt to pass a referendum that would allow the association to purchase the "distressed" units and then rent them out until the

Once again, I have to thank my staff who brought a selling technique to my attention that I haven't heard about in years.
