Yes, it’s insane. I would never buy a property with a squatter in residence. And most people would probably say that they wouldn’t buy a fixer upper at that price point - unless they lived around here. The property is in Mantua, which is an older but well regarded community just outside the Beltway. And it is served by good schools. For better or worse, that price is not unusual for the location.
