Hey guys, does anyone have any experience investing in Detroit real estate? Is it worth it? Is it possible to do if you don't live there? I'm in Canada.

Have you ever been to Detroit?
There's a reason those houses are going for $1, user
If I'm correct, these houses are attached to the debt the city has.
No I haven't, but it's hard for me to not want to buy a house for $1, regardless of the situation
don't do it unless you're black.
not even worth trying to flip or rent out unless you can afford to hire protection, especially if you don't live there
>regardless of the situation
sounds like you are a real estate pro
You mean like, they have outstanding property taxes and stuff that you need to pay off?
So hire ex military guys like the pot shops do?
Why do you need protection?

watching the squatters one now. this nigga real
Watch what? You directed me to a page filled with videos
The city will pass it debts to you through taxes. Detroit's city council has destroyed the chances of the city ever developing again.
most likely yes. if the niggers didnt bother to pay their mortgage what makes you think the would pay the taxes either? also those houses are beyond repair now. probably have foundation rot.
bitch, the videos posted there is a slice of detroit life. funny enough, the comments on the vids appear to be from other nigs/detroit folks.

>implying replacing the foundation is hard
Do you have to have a house on a lot? Buy up a bunch of lots, bulldoze them all and just sit on them until this all blows over. They can't over assess a non existent house.
Yeah, bring a bulldozer over there while a bunch of monkeys try to steal it from you when you step out to get a bite to eat.
you could do whatever you want with the property, but instead of the city going after the owner who currently doesnt pay taxes, theyll go after whoever buys the property to collect taxes. seriously nigga, dont over-think it. the city doesnt give a shit what you plan to do with it, they just want their back taxes owed and wont work with you. the second you buy it, the second the notices start coming to you.
you 100% cannot get clever with detroit
For this all to blow over, we would need a way to solve the black poverty issues.
Precisely what I was thinking. I absolutely hate Niggers and think they should go back to their own country. That would solve all of these fucking problems.
I work in real estate in a similarly shit city to detroit, most of the $1 houses have thousands of dollars of liens/taxes owed on top of the cost of the property.
What they dont tell you is most of these houses have squatting niggers and junkies sleeping in them, by selling them for 1$, the city offloads the cost of dealing with them to the buyers.
well i suppose if literally every neighborhood was bought up, evicted, and then razed. i suppose thats an idea to start it up, just physically remove their housing or get all structures to be condemned (shouldnt be difficult).
Detroit's not that bad, was there a few months ago and it has really gentrified.
Even the most ghetto areas (pic related) are not that shitty looking.
>Walk into house holding pistol
>Tell niggers they are trespassing on private property and they have 5 minutes to gather their stuff and go or else you'll use deadly force
Just because the purchase price is $100 doesn't mean it is assessed at $100, you are going to be paying a lot of money in taxes a year if you rent them out.
They won't let you bulldoze them to decrease the assessed value.
>Detroit's city council has destroyed the chances of the city ever developing again.
It’s already begun developing again
See: downtown Detroit
Detroit is a solid investment opportunity right now (apart from some areas of course, but that’s true everywhere)
Milwaukee?
Nope, east coast close to baltimore
you have to remember
how much is it going to cost you to kick out the angry squatters that have been in there for years?
Yeah, to you dummies ITT, you still have to pay all of the backtaxes on the houses that any former owner didn't pay, plus property taxes every year all while no one wants to live there so your house will rot and fall apart before it gets rented or bought
Will Americans ever break free from the "owning a home" delusion? You never own it. You rent it from Uncle Sam.
Former Detroit (suburbs because I'm rich and white) resident here.
There are a few issues with investing in property in Detroit:
1. Black people steal. I had a friend try it and he put in new appliances, new kitchens, new everything. Made the house shine. But even before he could list it, it was robbed bare overnight.
2. No one wants to live in Detroit because of black people. Even if you buy a house for $5,000 and put $10,000 in work and try to sell for $20,000, no one wants to live there.
3. Property tax and back taxes. it's already been explained from here 4. The 'flipping' market is oversaturated and also more difficult because of the weather. It's fucking cold as shit in the winter and all your renovations would need to be in the inside (or during summer for outside)
Now, on the FLIP side, there are places that are more 'white trash' than just straight up blacks. Livonia, Redford, Westland are all pretty ghetto, but not "Walk down the street and get robbed" ghetto. Invest in those areas if you want to flip or invest.
the cat chariots are deadly in detroit. they ravage the streets and their giant meows make settlers shudder into their cold-brew and stare ever more fervently at their instagram accounts
About 20 cents a round
> paying even one dollar to live in the detroit kangdom
Detroit has already turned-big hedge funds and the Chinese already bought huge amounts of land. Puerto Rico is the new place to vacuum up cheap land.
They won't. Just like they won't break free from the delusion that "driving" a "motor vehicle" is the same as using a car.

You realize that was done primarily by Jews, right? And Jews are Jews -- they're not White.

dude Syrian refugees begged to be relocated out of Detroit because they felt safer in Syria.
In Virginia when you buy a property at auction from the city or county the back taxes are waived.
>putting yourself in that situation
>not expecting them to come back
>sleeping with one eye open the rest of your time there
It's less of a bad idea now then it has been for years
Tarriffs might bring back some auto industry
You are better of buying a house in Baltimore than Detroit. Bmore at least has the advantage of being near other east coast cities.
Detroit is the nog capital of the us, no redeeming qualities
Better to get in on the ground floor of St. Louis real estate. You can buy higher and sell lower, fuck these stable value $1 houses.
MFW no one is not turning these dollar homes into commercial real estate.
Jews brought the niggers here you retarded faggot.
what is your customer base? and what is zoning?
Unless you're selling grape drank or hot chips for EBT there is no market.
This isn't true for all areas. For example in and around Pittsburgh there may be deals on a lower city or county real estate tax, but school tax is never waived. It must be paid.
>what is your customer base? and what is zoning?
Doesn't matter. It can be fucking starbucks or the dollar store for all that matters. They can do all the construction, zoning ect ect. All I want is for them to pay rent and pay taxes.
Everyone will be begging for a property and a personal android in 20 years
If any of you doubters have actually been to the city in the past 4 years, you would see that it's a contender to be the next big tech hub of the United States.
My prediction is that autonomous vehicle software development will shift into the midwest since we (in Detroit) have the land and infrastructure resources in place to facilitate the production of the actual autonomous vehicles.
This, an addition to the oncoming water crisis will poise Detroit and other midwest cities near the Great Lakes to become urban centers for current tech giants such as Google and Apple as they move away from Western United States due to drought and housing concerns. This shift will likely take between 15-25 years once we get a chance to see how the world economy looks after the next recession (it's coming).
Up for friendly debate, no trolling
That depends if president trump gets rid of the HB1.
This, they wont let you bulldoze them AND they are selling these houses for nothing with the caveat that IT MUST BE OCCUPIED and brought up to code. Aka, you have to re-build the house that all the niggers gutted and destroyed because they are trying to gentrify the area.
>They won't let you bulldoze them to decrease the assessed value.
I'm pretty sure they can if you're a developer. This has been doing flipping lots and turning them into commercial many times. The city of detroit only wants the tax money from the dollar homes which will roughly cost 2 - 5 grand per lot.
Lol
Livonia is "ghetto" lmfao I've heard it all. I live in Redford and I can attest to it being ghetto though.
This.....it's a haven for junkies and dealers since cops won't go there unless absolutely necessary
The 1$ price is a way by detroit to force people to pay some taxes. The only way to profit from this would be to have enough money to buy a massive plot of land and rebuild over everything with some shopping mall. But guess what it wouldn't be profitable so no one does it.
So the Chinese have been buying homes in Detroit? I seen this Vice doc where this guy was buying like 300 homes at a time. What would you do with that many homes anyways?
>youtube.com
omg thank you
When I heard about the packs of feral pit bulls eating homeless people I wanted to go there and live out video game fantasies
The city declared bankruptcy so taxes went down-now the redevelop neighborhoods and sell to Chinese immigrants
wth?
Invest in tear downs and hold on to the land until the area gets redeveloped and you get bought out
Where are the Chinese buying?
Why not rental property? And what do you mean by tear downs? Are you talking about vacant lots?
Kek
Those houses have been sitting there, forever. If there was a way to profit from them, people would have been doing it already. You're buying land (because the houses are teardowns) nobody wants, in a literal warzone/wasteland. There are blocks that were torn down over a decade ago, sitting there. The city stopped providing electrical power to the streetlights there, because niggers were stripping the copper wires in them, and they can't afford to replace them.
Even if you rebuild, your only rental market is Section 8, who will destroy the property. If you attempt to live there, and you're not black, you will be robbed, taxed out of town, or killed.
There is no investment in Detroit real estate, except possibly in the Muslim areas, and even then, there's not much action there.
You'd literally be throwing money away. You might as well take your money, get actual stacks of bills, go to one of the houses, and set it on fire, because it's the same result. Don't worry about getting in trouble, because the fire department usually doesn't respond to house fires in that area, which is why there's so many burned out houses.
Not even kidding- google feral pit bulls Detroit
They just bought a building that was the biggest indoor space in the world when it was built and tore it down or are still tearing it down
>All I want is for them to pay rent and pay taxes
With what? There is no work there, and most of the residents have no intentions of working. Your market is Section 8, who will destroy anything you build. They're literal locusts. Pay taxes? On what income?
Detroit is the ultimate end to the ghettoization of the US, by the Democrats. Generations completely dependant on the government, with no intentions of bettering themselves, who destroy cities, industries, and commerce.
You could build a wall around Detroit's ghetto, and the NYC in Escape From New York would be safer.
Either handle your drugs better, or stop trolling faggot.
holy fuck. is this capitalism in the end stage for any major city in burgerland? the rich will have exited in gated communities and middle class dissolve
not trolling. sorry you have a chip on your shoulder. was it you who went out of business, or someone in your family? and blaming the democrats too lol, the cliches really do write themselves
You're gonna see reverse white flight in 20 years time, mark my words
What about building cargo container houses on the land. All you would need is foundation, water, sewage and electricity set up and the cost of the house would be less then a traditional home.
Here’s a non meme answer, user. There is plenty of opportunity in Detroit, but you need to do your homework.
If I’m being completely honest your safest bet is to find a house north of downtown near the university. Less crime and you’ll at least have students renting.
You’ll need to find the right contractors when you rehab the place. There’s a shortage of tradespeople in Detroit, and most of them are scammers or completely clueless. I know a guy who worked on renovating a small building on Woodward and his contractors ran away with $60k. (If anyone is desperate for income and doesn’t mind relocating, you can EASILY make six figures doing a trade/fixing houses).
Buildingdetroit.org has some good homes. I recommend going through them.
Buy title insurance. Thank me later.
>Implying jaykwon won't come back with three homies and a shotgun
Being dependent on one industry will obviously bring the population to it’s knees if it collapses.
However: it was absolutely the Democrats who have failed to bring the city back. Decades of corruption at every level of government has kept Detroit where it is today.
If Detroit wants to bounce back, they simply need to replicate the same formula Grand Rapids implented.
