My brother in law bought a condo in Orlando (I do not control his taste!), on his second time heading down to use it he found it occupied by another group of people who had changed the locks.
It turned out they had bought through a sale by the HOA related to unpaid levies from prior owner.
My BIL had title insurance from his buy. It took two and a half years and six figures of legal fees for him to get possession of the unit he had bought. The title insurance paid - eventually - all of his costs, including rentals for when he was in Orlando and unable to occupy “his” place.
The lesson I took from this is that all of the stories you hear about Florida legal and real estate markets are true.
And also, Title Insurance should be purchased.
