U.S. Presidential candidate and current U.S. Senator Marco Rubio has finally sold his 'house of horrors' property that he has co-owned with David Rivera. Rubio felt relieved to have rid himself of the property that has tainted his reputation after being involved in a bank foreclosure scare for it a few years back.
Senator Marco Rubio has his eyes on the presidential seat and has committed himself in being a 2016 Republican presidential candidate.
Knowing that he has a lot on his plate focusing on his campaign, he wanted nothing more than to be able to sell is Tallahassee, Florida property which he co-owned with former colleague David Rivera since 2005.
He wanted to dispose of his "house of horrors" since he and Rivera had a fall-out as their friendship continued for many more years due to Rivera being circled with several scandals that could hurt Rubio's campaign for the presidency.
The property experienced a fall-out when it was up for an initial foreclosure proceeding due to missed payments by the two politicians. The said incident still haunts Rubio's campaign until now. However, he was more than happy to have finally sold the place. In doing so, he also absolved himself from expenses such as upkeep for the property and certain bills that has been more of a burden for him than a positive investment.
As Politico reported, the property was sold at $117,000. Initially, the asking price for the estate was set at $124,000, $18,000 less of the amount that Rivera and Rubio paid for when they bought the place in March 2005. The fact that the property was acquired at a promising deal, it was evident that Rubio just wanted to absolve him from the property than earn from it.
The property is located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Tallahassee, Florida. The three-bedroom house comprises of an open concept kitchen, a family room, a dining area, a deck that overlooks the backyard, and two bathrooms that is conveniently located six minutes away from the state House, reported Realtor.
Senator Marco Rubio and David Rivera, after being able to sell their co-owned Tallahassee estate, are now free of burdens. Because of such, Rubio can enjoy a peaceful campaign, without having to worry about the upkeep for his "house of horrors" property.
