Buyers of Flipped houses should be given disclosure information.

Currently in the State of Florida people who sell houses which they bought as a forclosure and then improve (usually cosmetically to hide any problems or imperfections) are not required to disclose any problems with the house or "improvements" they made to the house if they never live in the house themselves. This deceives the next buyer of the home very often causing them great financial strain when the serious problems with the home begin to show through the cosmetic "fix up" often not even detected by a professional house inspector. The law needs to be changed to require that the buyer of any home, whether they live in the home or not MUST be required to disclose any problems with the house and what they did to fix it. The new buyer of such a home should be given up to five years to hold the prior owner accountable for any issues found not to be disclosed and the seller of the flipped house should be required to disclose how long they owned the house and if they ever lived in the house themselves or ever rented it out and for how long.
