$800K Fixer-Upper Comes with a Squatter Living in the BasementAt a glance, this Prado Place’s five-bedroom house is such a dream to own. Coming at a $800,000 price tag, the house has a great location - Trader’s Joe and Home Depot are close by. It is also relatively affordable, being in an area where many house sales top the $1 million mark. However, potential buyers will be shocked to discover what this purchase entails. For three years, the basement level of the house has been occupied by a squatter who’s been living there without a lease in place. According to their realtor, she was someone who weaseled her way in and the current owners are not “the type that can financially afford or emotionally deal with the eviction.” And so, they let her stay there. The lower level is also not available for viewing, per the listing. And so, any interested parties who can obtain the house at a bargain, may want to consider setting aside some budget for eviction.Image:Zinta K. Rodgers-Rickert#squatter #fixerupper #basement
