Why would your parents visit their Florida home in the middle of the summer? That makes absolutely no sense when they have a beach home in CT. Something here doesn't smell right!
I think you are so funny and for you to have to ask about your social status even funnier. Look in the mirror to see a deluxe snob who doesn't relate to reality. You seem like a 16 year old high schooler. Do some volunteer work among the poor and down and out to help yourself broaden horizons.

My neighbors just got back from their Florida home. No reason it should stay locked up and unused for months...

A friend of mine (who lives in CA) just got back from Ft. Lauderdale last weekend. I'd never go there in July (at least not for pleasure travel), but other people do.
The thing that got me, was he said his parents collected rent from "poor minorities".
The image that gives me is akin to one of an owner feeding their dogs, or something of the sort. A lack of empathy for even his fellow humans to judge them in such a manner.
However, humility has little to do with social class.
I agree; I recently watched a documentary (The One Percent, made by one of the young people of that 1%) and this person obviously asks hard questions about his family and their empire and the ways of their wealth. So he still has developed a perspective of knowing how the rest of society do not live like him and his family and that awareness comes in spite of him being blue blooded upper crust.
I was also disturbed by the need to disclose the renters as ethnic minorities - what's that got to do with how rental income gets paid? Unless the person is saying, "... and because of this, I'm very tuned into the plight of immigrants and minorities and I'm learning what I can do to get involved." Somehow I doubt this was the intent.
1. Too many things can go wrong.
2. It's better to keep your expectations low and be pleasantly surprised instead of the other way around.
3. People who count on inheritances often inflate their present lifestyles higher than they would otherwise and risk disappointment later.
4. Inheritances are similar to welfare....they tend to take away people's incentive to work and achieve.
