I’d suggest talking to a estate agent in the area to get details – my feeling is that there must be a ridiculous over-supply of property in the area, which has combined with a significant number of job losses in the area (high oil prices have hammered Detroit industry).

My guess would be that people don’t expect capital gains in the area, and rental yields might be negative (given the community).

However, it is cheap, maybe you should buy a few properties their Mike 😉

Does anyone know the costs associated with the properties (i.e. rates etc) that would prevent a speculator buying up large in the area. Obviously its a shitty area (Detroit, down the road from Eminem’s famous 8 Mile Road) but even then, surely it would jusify the $500 outlay…
