Today, I found out that the piece of vacant land I purchased for $20,000 is illegal to build a house on, due to acreage restrictions. Thank you, realtor. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my partner and I went to the inspection of a house we wanted to buy. The whole roof was illegal. This is the second time our realtor has shown us a house with major issues. FML
Today, I found out that my childhood vacation home was on sale for 149K. We sold it for 99K 9 months ago. FML
Today, I found out the house I want to buy is being re-listed, because I can't have an open house to get people to see and buy my current house, because no one can go out in the this fucking quarantine. FML
Today, I learned that just because I inherited a house doesn’t mean I get to move into it to escape my crappy neighbourhood and asshole neighbours. Thanks to inheritance tax I have to sell the house to afford the taxes. FML
Today, I rented a house for 5 years with my girlfriend, only to find out she is the actual owner. FML
Today, we lost our dream house because the current owner heard us discussing our plans to landscape the massive back garden, and she decided she couldn’t sell to someone who planned to rip out all the flowerbeds she spent years cultivating. Why sell the house then, selfish cow? FML
Today, after a couple of months of enjoying an informal parking arrangement with a local bank, I found out they sold their extra lot without telling me. The new owner's towing company heard about the deal, though. FML
Today, my father gave me the best birthday gift, a piece of real estate. I got a grave, which is leased. FML
Today, a realtor came to take a look at my house. I had worked all morning to make it look lovely. When they took pictures, I explained a number of ways I could change things so everything would look as good as possible. After the house tour, they told me it should be bulldozed. FML
Today, I asked my landlord if I could get a dog. He said no, and gave me an illegal rent increase. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I would have done research with the town first. With any kind of construction you want to talk to people about ordinances first. The realtor just wants to sell sell sell.

Could always build a paintball course and get revenue from that

I'm fairly certain they have to disclose that to you. I would contact an attorney to see if you have any ground to stand on. If you can't build anything on it--I'd sit a trailer there and sell snowcones. You'd be surprised how much people would pay for one of those bad boys, and you aren't building anything on the property. Eventually you'd make your money back!

Sue them for not disclosing that information.

Shouldn't you have checked that out BEFORE you bought it?

Put a converted tool-shed house on the land, fence around property, and signs that read "No Warrant, No Entry" "Trespassers will be shot at upon sight". Unless you can't legally own a gun, in which case, I'll buy the land from you..

You still need a building permit for a tool shed. Legally, un-permitted structures can be demolished with 30 days notice by the building & zoning department of that jurisdiction. They can then charge for due process, demolition fees, personnel/labor expenses, and countless other fines. You fail.

Contact the realtor again or sue them. Surely they should have disclosed that to you?

Dude, I would sue the **** out of the real estate agent and the seller. It's illegal for them (at least where I am) not to tell you stuff like that.

Why would you build on a piece of 20k? A hammock?

Get a trailer or one of those nice and big mobile homes or even a tiny house
