(Snuck in some tablet time.
) I guess it's a good thing your neighbors are just shady, better than a subdivision.
We own most of a short commercial block in town. Our shop/office is on one corner, a church owns the other. In between are three lots I got cheap for future development.
We paid roughly $9-11,000 each about a dozen years ago. So I'm not a land barron. But a guy recently developed a steel warehouse across the street, on two lots he paid $69,000 for. So ours have appreciated handsomely. Plus there's 400 homes slated to go in a 1/2 mile up the road. There is only one other undeveloped parcel in the commercial district.
We get multiple letters a week offering ridiculous amounts - and they keep going down. Last one offered the magnificent sum of $6,500, cash for one lot.
The humor is wearing thin though and I'm starting to feel insulted. They don't seem to realize the lot's are adjacent. We'll get three letters from one outfit, or random offers on just one lot. I think they just scan the tax rolls and send letters to everyone, hoping some idiot or "don't wanter" bites. I could never take advantage of people like that.
OK, back to my vacation, I'm off to trout fish. Be back next weekend when it's supposed to only be 112 at home...
