Even if they have been great to the current owners for over a million dollars I would want to choose my tenants and then live with my own decision. I would be concerned about “inheriting” tenants.

Yeah definitely worth the price tag. Location helps too! 1 block from Col Heights shopping, two from the Metro… Yeah definitely worth the price tag.

If you bought this home for 1,299,000 and you put 20% down which would be the minimum required, your loan amount would be 1,039,200. If you wanted a 30 year fix with today's rates the principle and interest payment would be 7,807.00 you would still need to add $1,000 for escrows. If you subtract the rent for the basement the payment is $5,307. Does that help anyone think they can afford this? Ok so for anyone wanting the numbers they would look something like this.

It's SUPER nice and the renovations are really good, but they also preserved a bunch of the original decoration and cool wallpaper. I loved it! I used to rent a room in this house.

WOW! is about all i can say. it's crazy huge, and gorgeous inside (if a bit, ahem, "overdone") we are guessing it's been used as either a boarding house, B&B, or something of the sort. i couldn't possibly imagine living there as just a single family. but it definitely seemed worth the price. great kitchen! i live literally across the street from that house, and we eagerly visited an open house to check it out.
