So they took a mexican restaurant, put up some walls to make 7 bedrooms, make the handicap stall in the bathroom the shower with a tiny awkwardly angled shower head, put keypad locks on each bedroom, and then call it an apartments?

Looks like a coyote house to me....

Here's one that jumped out at me looking through recent local listings. Seems like a great deal:

https://www.har.com/1114-e-29th-street/sale_28770524


7 units in 3382 sq ft...month to month renters...I'm sure the people living in the "affluent" and "luxury" neighboring homes are thrilled about that!
I'm still really confused looking at the pictures. Is there one kitchen for everyone to share? Honestly I think this would do better as a gut out the middle and massive remodel to a single person home or to 2-3 much better rentals. 7 units equals 483 sq ft each.

And that appears to be a ridiculously high asking price for the area comps. Most houses are in the high $200's to low $400's ($200's are older ones not remodeled, $400k's are tear down and rebuilds). I'm sure value will increase as more tear downs occur, but it sure looks like a sheisty area - and $383 a sq ft is pretty damn expensive for a ****ty place.

The price is laughable. If it was a few miles over... in the Heights proper (or Woodland Heights), the land would be worth around $500k+/-. But although "close," this is miles (distance and $ wise) away from that. I'd guess lot value is half that or less. And it's real close to 610, which makes the location that much worse. If the lot was bigger, there might be some commercial value in being so close to 610...but not at 5000ft2.

The description is pretty funny in it's contradictions:

Quote:
It is visible from the 610 Loop (1) and provides easy access. Take advantage of the locations appreciating property values and the areas high income population! (2) People purchase non profiting businesses and turn them around all the time (3), take this as a challenge and see how you can profit from 1114 E 29th. St. Set up your showing with me or your agent today!
1. This is NOT a selling point. Who wants to stare at 610 traffic from their back balcony? Or hear incessant road noise?

2. The area's high-income population is not going to be renting month-to-month. Maybe he literally meant, take advantage of them by housing month-to-month renters in their midst who really would fleece them in other ways?

3. Yeah, the last owner failed at his month-to-month renters bonanza, but YOU could do it!!!

...

The place looks like it was set up as a *****house - go through the main lobby choose a room, have fun. The kitchen is for the girls, not you.

Some of these pictures are truly baffling as the what they are trying to do to impress the viewer:

We have locks...


We have numbers...


We have running water...


We have barred windows and a reflection of a beer-belly guy on his cell phone...

...curious for the realtors out there. Does har.com provide traffic stats? As in can realtors see their listing receiving a ton of hits from a message board?

Those bars on the inside of the windows look like a deathtrap. A while back it seemed like all the time people in SA were getting trapped inside of burning houses thanks to burglar bars.

They do, but you can't see where the hits originated from.

HAR also updated with a different listing agent. The one on Sothebys was the listing agent on HAR earlier.

Yeah maybe so. I got "here" late enough that the original har listing one had been cleaned up but I guess I must have hit the Sotheby's link right after it was posted. The couple seemed attractive enough. I was expecting worse.

The pictures I think were the good ones show up as broken image links. When I try to open them in a new tab I get an access denied error.

What's the strategy here? Is it an attempt to get the listing to go viral? Or are they marketing it as a great house to film porn movies?
