MORRIS, Judge.

Market Tampa Investments, LLC, appeals a final judgment of foreclosure entered against Goldia Stobaugh and in favor of U.S. Bank National Association, challenging (1) the trial court's denial of Market Tampa's motion to intervene or substitute at the final hearing on U.S. Bank's complaint for foreclosure and (2) the merits of the foreclosure judgment. We affirm in part and dismiss in part.

U.S. Bank filed a motion to dismiss this appeal, arguing that Market Tampa, who obtained the property by quitclaim deed from Stobaugh after the foreclosure complaint and lis pendens had been filed, is a stranger to the litigation and thus cannot appeal the final judgment. Market Tampa filed a motion to intervene or substitute below and thus has standing to appeal the trial court's denial of that motion, which we treat as being incorporated into the final judgment. See Litvak v. Scylla Props., LLC, 946 So.2d 1165, 1172 (Fla. 1st DCA 2006) ("An order denying a motion to intervene is final as to and appealable by the movant." (quoting Y.H. v. F.L.H., 784 So.2d 565, 567–68 (Fla. 1st DCA 2001) )); cf. Yankeetown Mgmt., LLC v. SunTrust Mortg., Inc., 164 So.3d 744, 745 (Fla. 2d DCA 2015) ("We dismiss the appeal because the appellant, Yankeetown Management[,] LLC, lacks standing to challenge the final judgment of foreclosure in this case. Yankeetown did not seek to intervene before the final judgment was rendered; therefore, it is a legal stranger to the action."). However, because the trial court did not permit Market Tampa to intervene or to be substituted as a party, a ruling that was proper under the facts of this case,1 Market Tampa was not a party...
