More details to this question:
We have determined the previous residents who told us about roof leaks and drywall damage that was there..they rented and house was sold in a foreclosure to the ppl who sold it to us.. Now, after the storm here in our area the roof is leaking in that exact area and the drywall on the ceiling is discoloring. Appears they covered rather than repaired and did not disclose..what recourse do we have? This appears to be a major expense and may have possible mold implication a as well.

You may have a case for fraudulent misrepresentation and /or fraudulent non-disclosure depending upon the facts. See FL case Johnson v Davis (google it). These cases are very fact specific so the knowledge and representations re the defects by the owners that sold directly to you are critical to proving your case.
