but........is there an expectation that buyers will live in the houses?
How many of you would want to live in inner city Detroit, even if you could buy a house there for a dollar?

I think I hear a great sucking sound. I’m not sure what the straw holders are getting though.

I think ANYTHING in the US that involves land for $1 would be a great investment. Eventually.

Gimme five or ten acres in the mountains, with a trout stream or good panfish pond on the periphery, and the nearest neighbor about a mile away. That's what we're working on.

“...enticed investors to Detroit from as far away as the United Kingdom and Australia.”
Hmmm, that’s one way to clean up the city.

Unless this is in Downtown Detroit, Palmer Woods, Rosedale Park, Indian Village or maybe Mexicantown, no way. If it is in one of those areas, it may be worth a shot.
It may be "cheap", but there's often leins, tax claims, insurance, pain in the arse city ordaninces, assessments, and a 62 mills property tax rate there. That's not to mention crime. Grosse Pointe has a cheaper cost of living than Detroit.

to buy 50, 100, 1,000.' The fools.
You couldn't give me one of those houses.
And I suspect those buying must indeed be far enough away to lack local experience.
They are likely brainwashed liberals, as well.

I saw documentry on TV a few weeks ago where a Canadian Real Estate tycoon is investing in Detroit.
Also the surrounding county wants to invest in major sites and most likely trumpt the looney tunes running the City Council.

A fool and ther money are soon parted.
As a former native of Detroit, These foreign investors have no conceptual idea of what the real Detroit is or ever will be.
Better to level the whole city to Eight Mile Road and give out forty acres and a mule and start over.
