I found the listing on Zillow with reverse image searching. It is a lot with two or three cabins from the mid 1930s in a wooded area right next to a 6-lane highway. Photos of the interior look meh especially for the price and the outside certainly needs love.
The worst part of this is the HOA. Although I have to assume they are pretty hands-off if the cabin is in this state. Having someone look over your shoulder while you fix up your shack sounds terrible.
Ah, Oregon. I saw a listing to rent a 'studio apartment' with no bath or kitchen so it was literally just a bedroom for $1200 a month a couple years ago. Not even in Portland, Springfield, or Salem, but a town with a population of 10k.
That's not terrible for HOA/condo fees. I used to live somewhere that charged $350/month for condo fees and basically didn't do anything with it. There wasn't even a dumpster for residents to use, so most people's houses ended up filled with trash.
I actually misread this meme as "Hey hosing market, where are you going". Oh well, the house on chicken legs is still quite rad though.
But. this got me wondering - could you actually legally live in the US federal land in such a house, that moves to a different location every so often? I know some RV guys live like this, but would an actual building that can move itself, be okay, too?
Yeah, honestly it's crazy but I also understand. In Seattle there are some real dumps out there, but the dump isn't what they're selling for 170k. That's just the value of the land. A townhouse on a quarter acre is 500k out here, they probably took a picture of the structure so the buyer knows they'll have to knock it down
Edit: Lol I absolutely love them (I love old houses) but fuck HOA's and the price. Not to mention I couldn't see acreage listed anywhere or I could just be to stoned and missed it.
They're condos, there is no land. The houses are cute, I'll give you that, but these are glorified apartments. You own the inside walls of the unit you buy, that's pretty much it.
Is this some sort of weird "for legal reasons we had to post it but we don't actually want anyone to put in an offer" type things?
Like with the super specific H1B job postings designed so that only 1 person (preselected) is likely to qualify. But they had to post it because it's a government policy.
I guess I'm asking how this is helping someone avoid some sort of fee/tax on $169,000?
Edit: Guys condos don't always come with land ownership which is why I thought something was dodgy here. Does anyone know if condos in Oregon include the land under them?
Doesn't even have to be massive. In my area, I see a half acre lot listed for $500k. I'm not even in a particularly expensive area (kinda rural, but 20mi away from a somewhat expensive metro).
In cases of inheritance, when the house is left partially to two or more parties. In conflict between the parties, the resolution can be the forced sale.
Haha, nope no missile. It's america, not russia. The post lead to a selling page showing photos of the place. It looked legit and it was taken down in a day or so... or they sold it.
