Terrible Estate Agent Photos

I went through a Second Life land trading phase quite a few years back. Properties like this were very valuable to advertisers. Because of advertisers, it was possible to be a niche real estate mogul for weird useless little virtual properties like this that could earn you an actual meaningful real-world income. Second Life had (may still have, I've not been back in a while) its own advertising industry and multiple adtech networks. A despicable inevitability of having completely free content creation tools and also an economy that can trade with real money. People trying to sell their creations want people to pay in game currency to get their things, so they can extract the value to real money. They want people to know about their products, so they turn to people who will accept in game currency to blast awareness of their products everywhere. Those advertisers want land, which they need to buy. Probably from another player.

So, the first thing I thought of when I saw this plot was "BILLBOARDS!!!" and I hate it.

I am a very large snake and this is my dream home.

Seriously though, that isn't just someone's easement? How did it even end up as a separate lot?

If you really hate someone who lives in one of those six houses, this lot affords you many opportunities for mischief.

I can’t imagine any other reason for this to exist.

The perfect property for the zip line/archery enthusiast

Looks like someone is already built over their lot line into this space on Zillow. Good luck with the extra court battle! https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/601-Jericho-Ave-NE-Renton-WA-98059/2064096887_zpid

An old municipal right of way that got turned into private property somehow.

People living in those houses should definitely be attempting adverse possession on it.

1. Buy
2. Build a wall
3. Add cameras
4. Charge neighbours for taking down the wall and yearly fee for not building it again.
5. ???
6. Capitalism.

Seattle. Insane property prices. Here‘s a 360 google view picture of that corner visible https://maps.app.goo.gl/33TmGtvDqdXcjpzK6?g_st=ic

I bet a real asshole could easily quadruple their money with this.

Just negotiate with the owners of the 6.1 houses to buy all or some of the strip. Tell Bob that if he doesn't pay $10k for the strip behind his house, that Catherine is willing to buy it, and then her back yard will wrap around his.

In a friendly world where every neighbour trusted each-other, they could split the $25k and each pay a few thousand for a very slightly larger back yard. But, home-owners being the assholes they are, you could probably get them to try to out-bid each other to cause or avoid petty squabbles.

If those owners figure it out they should hire a lawyer to buy it and parcel it out b/t all of them so they can expand their fences or just to prevent someone else.

600k-1M for these shitty juxtaposed copy/pasted houses made out of carton in a random suburb where you have to have a car? USA you went too far, go back

I love the realtor's pitch:

Situated in a nice Renton, WA neighborhood this unique parcel stretches behind six homes and is accessed through the public right of way. Imagine the things you could do? Parking of vehicles and "toys" comes to mind immediately ... or storage? How could you put a piece of property like this to use for yourself? Gardening? A place to hang out? It's right next to a big green belt so you've got all that privacy at your feet. Recreation? Camping? And just strictly as an investment ... can you think of any Real Estate in King County Washington that gone down in value over time? "A rising tide lifts all boats"! Tax ID# 7708201190. NE 4th St to N on Jericho Ave NE. Stop just before Road Curves left. Parcel is behind the houses straight ahead.

Never understood how Americans live like this. Probably would be better in an apartment

Just build a wall to fuck them up.
