I'm not some HMO Karen,, but whats going on in Rural Lane County Oregon just seems crazy.

Around here, joining adjacent small lots is free and easy. Most towns encourage it. They get more tax money from a single 0.5A lot with a house than two unimproved 0.25 acre lots. I’ve done it with a couple of my properties

So, my point is, there is an expense, even if no survey is needed, the new legal description, ect; when we are talking buying a $3000 lot for $900; combining 4 of them; just the legal description and any fees associated with the new deed is going to eat up a lot of that potential profit. The bigger part is actually securing multiple adjacent lots at a tax sale.
