Is this the new euphemism for "Total Dump"?

This morning, I was looking through my email when one message popped up that caught my eye. It was for the cheapest house in all of Falls Church, Virginia, for sale at for under $200,000 - a price unheard of in this part of the Washington suburbs. So I read on.

The owner, an investor doing a FSBO, included an interesting description: "Tenant Ready". And he even had a video ifor readers like me were unfamiliar with this term.

And the place was, to put it politely, the quintessential dump. It was a really bad 50's house that must have lead a hard life. There was a ton of deferred maintenance, a kitchen that looked like food poisoning waiting to happen, bathrooms that guaranteed a case of really bad athlete's foot, and clutter and trash all over.

And you just knew the place had intense dog breath.

Oh, and did I mention the location convenient to a cemetery?

At least the video did show the bad stuff pretty accurately. I'll give the guy credit for not trying to make the place look like a cutie.

Perhaps if I had tenants looking for the perfect place to open a meth lab, this would fit the bill. But luckily, I don't seem to attract this sort of clientele!

And hey! Wadda ya want for less than $200,000 in a decent zip code?
