Well this took a turn towards unethical again. This time its the lawyer handling the problem.

It seems HE bought the lot through his title company instead of the owner of the house buying it.

He is now wanting to hire me to divide the lot in 3 pieces, where he will offer to sell 1/3 of it to the homeowner to clear up their encroachment issue. The other 2/3rds are up for grabs to either property owner on each side. If the person with the setback issues wants to buy all 3 they can but they will have to compete with the neighbor 1 lot over.

So the lawyer has turned it into a bidding war between the 2 neighbors to grad the land that is available.

I can only hope this backfires and neither are interested in the other 2/3rds.

There might also be an issue with the City and breaking up the land into unbuildable pieces.

I am not inclined to take this job on even though I can use the work it does not sit well with me. Leave it to an Attorney to take a simple solution to a problem and make it overly complex, and in this case possibly double dipping and making a tidy profit off of it.
