Like my friend says, "With $500 houses in Detroit there is no reason for anyone to be homeless." [[of course this is arguable) At least for Wayne County, the tax auction is a very easy way of obtaining a home. All online, and the County just mails you the deed one month after auction.
Dealing with realtors and the home buying process can be a real hassle. I've seen most homes now on the market go "highest and best" offer, many are short sales, and many banks take their time and don't do things the way they should be done. Buying a house is way more complicated than it should be. The tax auction gives an easy alternative!
