Like Lowell said in an earlier post, I bought the house for pretty cheap. When I buy a property in Detroit I assume that it has nothing and needs everything. That way, anything still functioning inside the house is a plus. That being said, time is money. I knew that it would take lots of time to evict them so I originally offered them $700 in cash if they would move out.

Unfortunately there is no room for being nice in real estate - especially Detroit real estate. Of course I feel bad that they really have no place to go and that I'm responsible for moving them out of their house, but that's my job.
