What now in Florida??
Our neighbors contacted an investor and sold her home because her "overseas boyfriend" needed the money to get back to the states... I'll call her Pat and "boyfriend" Patrick... Pat thought this "dream guy" Patrick was going to come and buy her the mansion she deserves... so she contacted the investor, signed paperwork, accepted half of the sale price and the other half was payable upon move out...she sent it all to Patrick overseas... we currently have a contract on this home to purchase once she moves out...Problem is she will not leave... she now knows Patrick is a scam and wants to stay in the home... the investor couldn't evict her due to covid and now she is claiming the investor tricked her into selling the home... she is claiming fraud... she cannot repay the money she was given at closing... the poor investor has been trying to get her out since April 15th 2020... paperwork was signed and money exchanged on March 3rd 2020...Pat and her 2 felon sons have terrorized this small neighborhood for years and years... we put a contract on the home in an effort to help the neighborhood, we will be tearing down the home as meth was cooked in it for years... should we stay the course to buy the property and wait her out or can she really just cry "I'm a poor widow, you tricked me" and she gets to stay.... any help at all will be helpful because our attorney is completely out of his depth on this... thanks in Florida
