All 7 Deals at a Glance
| City | Deal | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Orlando | a Home with Termite Damage Behind the Walls | 18 Days |
| Kissimmee | a Tired Landlord's Vacation Rental in Kissimmee | When we first walked into this house in Kissimmee, the situation was immediately apparent. The smell of stale cigarette smoke and pet urine was pervasive. Piles of trash littered every room, broken kitchen cabinet doors hung loosely, and holes were punched into several drywall sections. The master bathroom toilet was non-functional, leading to extensive water damage around its base. It was clear the tenants had no respect for the property. |
| Lakeland | The Major Code Violation on Sunrise Lane in Lakela | 18 Days |
| Melbourne | a Coastal Home with Salt Air Corrosion Damage | Walking into the property, the smell of mildew from active roof leaks was immediate. What was once a well-kept family home was now a maze of hazards: exposed wiring from amateur electrical work in the unpermitted bedroom, deteriorating original cast-iron plumbing under the kitchen sink, and a backyard fence that was collapsing onto a neighbor's property. Letters from the City of Melbourne with escalating daily fines were piled high on the kitchen counter, alongside notices of looming liens against the property. The Millers, an elderly couple, were overwhelmed and physically unable to tackle the extensive repairs required to bring the house up to code. Every phone call from Code Enforcement was a source of real stress. |
| Deltona | a Home with Failed Septic and No Sewer Access | Fast |
| Palm Bay | a Storm-Damaged Home with Sinkhole Concerns | The original roof, long past its prime, had given up. Water intrusion was extensive. Walking through the front door, the musty, heavy smell of mold was immediate. Ceilings in the living room and master bedroom were visibly stained, peeling, and in one section, had completely collapsed, exposing rotting drywall and sagging insulation. Buckets, once hopeful solutions, now stood proof to the ongoing battle against the Florida elements. |
| Winter Haven | a Home on Former Citrus Land with Settling | The biggest issue stemmed from an unpermitted Florida room addition from the 1980s. What was once a cozy sunroom had become structurally unsound, with visible sagging and water intrusion. To make matters worse, the original roof had developed significant leaks, leading to widespread interior mold growth and damaged ceilings. On top of the internal decay, the exterior was suffering. The yard was severely overgrown, a dilapidated shed was on the verge of collapse, and the City of Winter Hav Code Enforcement had taken notice. The Millers had a stack of official letters, each one detailing new violations and threatening escalating fines. |
