I feel like you had additional context to this question that you meant to add, but just totally forgot.
As it stands, yes of course. If your house in condemned or otherwise subject to eminent domain, if your house is seized to pay creditors for non-mortgage debt (in some states), if somebody else has superior title to your home and you aren’t protected by being a bonafide purchaser, etc.
Natural disasters and other "acts of god" are becoming more relevant - especially as some states, like Florida, have more insurance companies pulling out. Flood insurance is often unaffordable too.
Wait, are Floridian companies really doing that? Do you have a source?

It is happening in California too because of all of the wild fires mostly.
Flood insurance is 100% unaffordable. Even insurance companies are subsidized by the government for flood.
