Marco Rubio and David Rivera have sold the house the owned together in Tallahassee, a property that for years tied the Florida senator to the former Miami congressman.

The two friends sold the house this week for $117,000, a Rubio aide confirmed Wednesday to the Miami Herald. The sale was first reported by Politico.

Rubio and Rivera had listed the house for $125,000. They had bought it in March 2005 for $135,000. It briefly entered foreclosure proceedings before the former Tallahassee roommates settled the matter.

The house has been a drag on Rubio, a 2016 Republican presidential candidate, who has been repeatedly tied to the embattled Rivera, who is the target of a federal criminal investigation into campaign-finance shenanigans. Rubio has also faced scrutiny over his finances, including the underwater mortgage on the Tallahassee home.

5. It was a small house in a cheap neighborhood

1484 Bent Willow Drive - off Apalachee Parkway near Mom & Dad's Restaurant. Only 1228 square feet. They paid $135,000.00 for it in 2005. Most of the houses in that neighborhood are valued at less than the Rubio-Rivera one.

So far any sale is not reflected on the Leon County Property Appraiser web site - the house is still listed in Rubio and Rivera's names. Just look it up with parcel ID 310270 C0070 : http://cms.leoncountyfl.gov/prop/searchgeneral.aspx

Edited to add - Zillow listing for the house:
