VA Repo Homes For Sale in Hampton Roads.
Va homes are handled similar to the Hud homes.

Homes may be purchased by anyone which includes veterans and non-veterans, owner occupants and investors.

If a successful offer is not accepted during the extended period then the price may be lowered and placed back into a competitive bid period again and the cycle starts all over again.
