I had neighbors (in a rental, thank God) in SoFl who were completely broke and a little “off.”

I thought the place was vacant when we moved in, but apparently they had been living there for years with no electric or water. They had a small hole in their roof when we moved in, which had progressed in 2 years to a 6 foot opening, inhabited by a family of ducks.

Right before we moved (after 4 years), they finally got evicted and someone bought the house at auction and flipped it.

I feel bad for whoever bought that house as although the flipper put a new roof on, they didn’t do a gut renovate and God only knows how much water/mold had saturated that place given it rained daily for six months out of the year.
