Florida Woman Tries to Back Out of Home Purchase By Blaming Diet Pills
LatestEveryone except teetotalers has done something they regret while under the influence of mind-altering substances. So I’m sure we’ve all got at least a little sympathy for this Florida woman claiming she mistakenly purchased a home $100,000 underwater while fucked up on diet pills.
ABC News reports on the travails of Mary McKaig, who bid $100,500 on RealAuction.com for a foreclosed four-bedroom. Estimated worth: $276,878. Which would’ve been a pretty good deal! Except she quickly realized she’d made a horrible mistake, because the home came saddled with $400,000 in debt due to the bank. You see, as the Orlando Sentinel explains, it was actually the homeowners’ association that had foreclosed upon the house, over $15,929 in unpaid fees, which a HOA can do in Florida. Which seems like a great way for buyers to get screwed, but RealAuction.com says it’s on buyers to research the properties.
