DETROIT Welcome to Landlord Nation, where foreclosure notices are plentiful and for-sale signs offer at least 1,800 homes for under $10,000 that once were worth at least 10 times more.
In extreme cases, homes are on sale for $1 or less, which has enticed investors to Detroit from as far away as the United Kingdom and Australia.
"In the past few months, I've picked up 10 new clients from out of state that are buying in bulk," said Mike Shannon, a suburban Detroit real estate agent. His office specializes in foreclosures in a city that's among the national leaders.
"They're coming to us, saying 'Look, I want to buy 50, 100, 1,000.' They want to own every decent and cheap house they can find."

I heard that just a hand full vote in Detroit this is how Looney toons are able to do what they do.
Your solution seems to be to love the problem away.
****
Did I say love the problem away?
I said the attitude needs to be changed in order to be effective.
Do you really think people are going to listen to a solution when they know the group giving out the information has contempt towards them?
No more rhetoric, okay? Offer up at least one--ONE!--solution that is actionable with regard to Detroit. One.
I think I did offer suggestions
Citizens need to clean up those area of the Republican party in Michigan of those Republican Politician (RP) who bends over to accommodated the Marxist PC. (this goes for the nation as a whole).
Some citizens among us have talent to motivate change (no pun) to those who might be struggling to understand what their roll is towards the opposite party (RP), if not vote them out!
Somehow when making political Ads the most important part of it should be that those who are working hard for their family and who want to be good neighbor
It should be made known that they are defeating all their efforts if they don't vote, stress that those who dont vote undermines their effort to protect their family and community.
Citizens need to plant a wholesome political garden, being that this is a two party system, it is the Republican party that looks like it still can be salvage.
Just like every where else in this state there are good hard working citizens in Detroit who desire a better quality of life and would rally around but they need good leadership to move them out of the comfort zone and remind them it really is a nightmare zone.
There are working stiff citizens among us who need to have their eyes open and sometimes those with sellmanship could help educate those who are stuck in a rut
The citizens who cling to the Marxist need to be shown that there is something better so they will boot out that Marxist Pied Piper.
