Detroit fixer uppers are cheap to be sure.
Is the quality of life there worth it? And that is something no amount of money can buy.
And not in Detroit these days and perhaps never.
Newark NJ had an offer on Valentine’s Day where people could buy vacant lots for $1,000, on the conditions that they build a home and live there for five years. They are trying to re-settle the urban ghost towns with taxpayers...
Same deals exist in Buffalo, Cleveland, Syracuse, Toledo and host of other cities.
Per the article, approximately 100k people live in these foreclosed houses!?!?
...out of a population of 700k.
Wow.
First you would have to buy a dozen or more so you can setup a walled compound aka Omega Man. Sensor’s and a remote controlled .50cal every 50 yards. Minigun’s would be best.
It will work only if they can get rid of the criminal element.
Years ago there was a $100 house sale in one of our poorer neighborhoods. The tax and utility liens were forgiven. The buyer had to fix the house and live there for three years. Well, the housing projects and Section 8 houses were still there, along with plenty of “aspiring rappers.” Most of the people who bought and fixed up those houses left after three years, some just abandoned the properties sooner. Today those houses are dilapidated again.
Detroit ruined by democrats, run by democrats, only democrats live (or want to live) there..
No one in the entire city knows what caused Detroits downfall.. or wants to know, or are even capable of knowing.. except a few RINOs that are really democrats in desquise.. picking over the trash..
Stay away from Detroit (theres a MOLD problem) it’s in the air..
Mob mentality gone garbage dump thugg.. you can smell it..
much like Washington D.C.. without the floaters.. or castoff female groinal aids..
6. Understand you are living in a long term democrat run city in which the politicians owe their jobs to the public unions. Their pensions come before ANYTHING.
Paying $500 for a house that is not worth a nickel to actually LIVE there is NOT a good deal.
You will spend a fortune on pest and Amish control.
The demographics of Detroit have sealed its fate. The place is filled with them. Detroit will never be able to rebound while they are predominant.
I am referring, of course, to Democrats.
