Sorry to hear that happened to you and glad to hear at the end you didn't get totally taken. Do you have any legal recourse in Florida since the inspector didn't find some major flaws? Also, did you keep your farm?
We checked with the lawyer and unfortunately home inspectors are protected pretty well and only liable for the cost of the inspection. As far as The Farm, we still have it.
Tough lessons. We bought property that had an old house on it. We found the old paneling to be hiding a major termite problem. We had to rebuild multiple top plates, tear out two walls to get to eaten out studs, etc. No inspection though as the the 130 year old house was not worth much. But we live in it now.
