One dollar can get you a large soda at McDonald's, a used VHS movie at 7-Eleven or a house in Detroit.

The fact that a home on the city's east side was listed for $1 recently shows how depressed the real estate market has become in one of America's poorest big cities.

And it still took 19 days to find a buyer.

Going from your initial quote, at what 7/11 can you buy a USED VHS from?

I've never seen one.

Even at a $1..... It's in Detroit. I'd hold out... I think it can go lower.

BradM · 09-08-2008, 04:01 PM

Buy for $1, rent for $6 a month. Good luck collecting the rent though.

Flip that House

klaze · 09-08-2008, 04:04 PM

Detroit is EXTREMELY fucked up.

Houses have such little value a lot of people just up and abandon the house.. Don't even bother trying to sell it or anything..

detroit has very high taxes, they probably had to pay $1 plus a bunch of unpaid taxes/water bill. usually the banks will have to pay it at closing out of their price, but that obviously isnt going to happen.

brand0n · 09-08-2008, 04:20 PM

so why not buy a few blocks and just sit in em?

Even if u have to will em to your great great grand kids, profit?

Yeah, I'd be afraid to send in my $1.

They could put your name on the deed then send you a bill for $120k to pay for all the
legal "mumble jumble" needed to actually possess the home.

actually in detroit they just take the house from you if you get behind in taxes for two years, but you cant close on it without the taxes and water bill being up to date.

That's what "Devil's night" is. It's one of those holiday's not really celebrated (or even heard of) elsewhere, but it's not uncommon in Detroit. The land that a lot of the houses sit on (excluding those with unhealthy levels of soil toxins), is worth more than the structures. The taxes are shit though.

Did anyone hear about the house in Pontiac a few years (5+), that was torn down by accident? It was the crackhouse next door that was supposed to be torn down, bu apparently the whole neighborhood was so bad that when there was a mixup, they couldn't tell the difference. There was a lawsuit (of course), but I never heard the outcome.
