” as long as they are willing to rehab the property and move in..... “

Which is the reason they have no buyers to start with. No one wants to live there.

I bid 1/1,000,000th of a [soviet equivalent to] a penny!
Who here will raise it to 1/999,999th?

Some of these are actually pretty nice in outward appearance.

Did they consider putting deeds in Crackerjack boxes?

I went and looked at a nicer one, they are asking $1000.

from the website “A 3 bedroom and 1.5 bath Tudor-style home. This one-of-a-kind house is spacious too, with 1,600 square feet. Property is missing furnace and water heater. Windows need replacement, but the roof is good.”

So they want you to pay money for a house you can’t live in, which is in a city you can’t live in, for a job they don’t have. The good news if you move there you’ll probably get murdered and the lack of a furnace or water heater just won’t matter all that much.

Detroit is rather amazing. There are really nice neighborhoods and really pathetic neighborhoods sometimes right across the street from each other.

Try to make Detroit more gay-friendly. Homos have rehabed blighted neighborhoods in other large cities such as Dallas.

Hmmm...urban homesteading of a sort. People tend to take better care of what’s theirs.

The question to ask is how much in back property taxes are owed? How much in water, sewer, and other utilities? Interest owed?

20 years ago I did “weatherization “ on ghetto houses in Detroit. Back the , neglect had rendered most of them beyond rehab. Two decades of further neglect will make the. Completely uninhabitable.

Nice try Mike. Here’s a better idea. Close down a few square miles and lease the area to army, SEAL’s, Guard, SWAT and other agencies. Might give BLM an excuse to use all their tactical toys.

Use the homes for training then burn it all so fire departments can get some serious training. Then clear the land, down to the sewers.
