I'm completely new to this forum but i've been seeing alot in the media lately about houses going for next to nothing in detroit due to the fact that there are so many abandoned houses that no one is paying taxes on. I don't live in detroit nor do i plan on moving away from nyc...but i was wondering where I could get more information on obtaining these houses. I wouldn't mind getting 2 or 3 of them that are in "decent" shape and paying the taxes on them every year. Ideally i could do renovation work and make them liveable...and then offer them to people living in detroit at just enough a month in rent to cover the taxes every year. If you guys know where i need to search or anyone trying to get rid of homes let me know.
