A growing trend has emerged in the aftermath of Florida 's historic hurricane season: investors are snatching up hurricane-damaged homes.

While some see this as an opportunity to rebuild and revitalize, others are raising red flags about the quality of repairs and whether future buyers will unknowingly inherit homes with hidden issues.

For buyers, this could mean costly surprises, particularly when securing insurance.
