The Truth Behind Those $1 Detroit Homes

- Downtown Detroit is seeing a revitalization of sorts sparked by Dan Gilbert's $1 billion investment in the area. Since 2010, Gilbert's investment has created an estimated 6,500 jobs in downtown, and, as a result, it's nearly impossible to find a vacant apartment as residential occupancy rates reached as high as 99.4% for the downtown area.
But what about the rest of the city? You can buy a bunch of homes outside of downtown Detroit for under $500 and some are even listed at just $1.
Problem is: these prices are incredibly misleading. The homes are in abysmal condition and there are few city services in and around these neighborhoods.
Detroit realtor John Lewis took us to the Brightmoor neighborhood to show us what these $1 Detroit homes are really like.

The Truth Behind Those $1 Detroit Homes
A homeless Detroit man bought an abandoned house for $1,500 and spent 10 years renovating it for his wife. Here's how he did it - and what it looks like now. bit.ly/InsideRenovatedHome
Ok
Ok
Business Insider that article was way to long
Amazing story!
That article felt really empty..
"The whole city is not like this."
Homes on the other side of town are going for two dollars.
The Main Man 😂
The Main Man detroit is a shithole fr
Guilty Pleasure how? That sounds stupid asf its the truth, im not saying its a shithole because its black people im saying it cuz its the truth, when u can buy homes for 1$ you know ur town rlly sucks. Plus i live in a mostly black town so how am i racist, im not i dont get it tf
😂😂😂😂

The corrupt govt would assess at 1 dollar or a true fair market either. Plus you have to deal with constant squatters. Only true solution is to kicks everyone out and let big corp redevelop it all to commercial or new homes.
Can you bulldoze the house after you buy it and then only pay taxes on the land??
@@TheGeenat good question.
@@TheGeenat apparently you have to complete renovations so you cannot demolish it. It must become livable for tenants who will then squat. Lol

I think if the city just ate the cost of demolishing all these homes, they'd probably have a lot more luck selling the bare land.
Then private developers will buy the land. They will build new township with more expensive properties no one can afford.
That’s true. All the infrastructure like plumbing and electrical should be ready to go right.
Exactly.
North American houses are mainly made of paper anyway, so it wouldn‘t even be that expensive.
@@sitinorhassan5253 as opposed to properties no one wants to buy?
@@mbrusyda9437 You do know that 'what people don't want to buy' and 'what people can't afford to buy' are two different things. I commented as a layperson who saw the trend of property developers who kept building expensive properties. They have 'if we build this, people will come' attitude. As someone who live in the city, work in the city, I'd like to remain in the city for convenience. Financially speaking, it does sounds sensible to demolish the buildings and build new. The developers can start from scratch on how they want the new township looks and operate. They might create their own zoning system. However, by building new township, they will also have to provide new public facilities like schools, hospital, markets, fire department, police department etc. Those things needs money and they would pass the cost to buyers of the township.
I was hoping we would see an oldtimer sitting on his porch, and he would tells us about happier times in the neighborhood, when the community was vibrant.

"This is just one neighborhood. The whole city is not like this."
Can confirm. The whole city is not like that.
Just a lot of it.
Yep. 14000 abandoned homes and buildings. But what is beautiful is they never shouts racism there anymore. WHite people done left..and now..well aint it something. Racism is gone and third world is what they got. Makes you wonder...were them awful white people the problem or the reason for the success of Detroit Before the Marchers came to town
$201 for a house AND a pump action shotgun? Sounds like a good deal to me.
Fortnite irl
It costs 700 for a shotgun.
On the flipside of that comment, it would be cheaper for a psychopath to NOT buy the homes, but semi-squat in them by setting up a series of Saw Style Traps throughout a neighborhood.
If he had money, he could install hidden surveillance and sell pay per view to the dark web of his demented theme park.
Is suppose if the traps were non-lethal pranks, it would be a shade more legal. Then he could advertise the fabulous prizes he hid throughout the neighborhood online to get volunteers to explore...

This is really sad because those were once new, clean homes with families and history. It’s awful that they’ve just been left to rot like that.
More awful GM fled town same time Reagan and North introduced crack to Detroit.
I know right
The reason they are so many homes like this in Detroit was because of the white flight in Detroit it's an interesting topic you should look it up.
It’s sad from a human perspective yes but architecturally those buildings are pretty shit, and would probably be reaching the end of their natural life-cycles. They’re also wasteful of space. Build some nice brick, stone and wood buildings there which would have low embodied energy and make them several storeys, like Victorian houses in the UK, split some of the bigger townhouses into apartments and then have Detroit redevelop the area itself a bit to create some job opportunities; then you have sustainable and desirable homes which will make the area inherently desirable and give it longevity - just like how it’s worked in London; where the blighted and poor areas are all composed of disgusting and soulless 80s concrete monstrosities, which deprive a neighbourhood of community and beauty and create a dingy backwater full of crime. The architectural value of an area affects how it is lived in, and how an area retains its liveability and viability over the decades and centuries. “Classical” architecture, or any which acknowledges beauty and lineage, will always be desirable and will encourage anyone who lives in it to take care of their valuable homes and neighbourhoods.
Greedy real-estate businesses should die
If Detroit didn't have shitty regulations someone would've bought the entire neighborhood dozed it all and built new houses
They're bankrupt they can't afford to do that. That's why the taxes on these cheap ass homes are high
an investor not the city
Detroit is now in the negatives and owes the state money for the services that are provided to each home and businesses that are still in operation as well as the electrical, sewage, water, fire and EMS that have to work in this city. The taxes are high to pay back for all of the years the city has been under until it would be successful again. In order for a home builder to market a successful recovery in this area the taxes and livability would need to be high in order for their interest to be paid in full by the owners of the houses that would be built by the developers. What also hurts the city as much as any other is all of the sanctions and anti gun laws that make legal law abiding citizens criminals in that state, so protecting yourself against people whom would be attracted to the higher end development would be at risk for theft and robbery than any other place.
GENTRIFICATION
And wait for all of them to be robbed
"The $1 home thing, it's not unheard of."

Just think about this dilemma: "Do I by a Happy Meal, or a house in Detroit?"
@@brianmatthews4323 gotta go with the happy meal. At least you'll be alive after eating it. Sad, but alive
I live very close to here. It’s amazing how a few miles, or even blocks one direction or another look totally different. Detroit’s biggest problem is it’s too big. How many homes in that area do you think legitimately use water? let alone current in their billing. Yet, the city must maintain all the infrastructure. Detroit needs to pay people to centralize and let some of these areas go back to nature. .
Interesting idea.
The shit be 30 seconds away
Can people find jobs there? Crime? Considering the rental and real estate situation in this country right now, I can only suspect that people priced out of markets in so many other more expensive places will start to give blighted cities like Detroit a serious look.
With the cost of buying one of those cheap houses, taxes, and spending tens of thousands of dollars to rehab the house itself, a person could still have a livable house for under $40,000 and a mortgage of only a few hundred per month, which is practically unheard of anywhere in the country.
But nobody wants to live in super cold Michigan, and if there are no jobs and crime is bad, there is no point.

I grew up in Detroit and I've seen how much houses around my neighborhood has changed. I used to always feel safe running around the block with some friends and everybody were all so friendly. Now going back and a few of my family still living there, the houses and neighborhood don't look so lively anymore as it used to be. Many houses are unrecognizable and they don't really do anything with the houses that are damaged.

The city sells the house for $1 so they can charge you all the delinquent property tax at once.

Taxes are only part of the nightmare. The fees, fines, and more will never end. I related above a summary of one guy's uncle's experience with a "cheap" house in Detroit. One specific thing the Detroit tyranny did to the uncle was to force him to replace the sewer line from the house to the street. The tyranny claimed they had a complaint from someone from within the uninhabited neighborhood.
The uncle was faced with a long-term and expensive losing battle against the tyranny or replacing the sewer line. Of course, the tyranny insisted he use a "certified contractors" for 3 times the price to replace the line.

The key its that you would still be paying like 4000$ in taxes, and on top of that you would have to spend thousands of dollars making the home liveable.... and then you live in a regular house, in the middle of nowhere, with the risk of housebreaking/theft and having to install really expensive security systems
any security is better than none, simple curtain motion sensors on windows and doors, basic controller and sound-light alarm will be enough. around 200$ for all.

"The whole city is not like this." That is true. However it is also fair to say this is true for a good 85 percent of residential areas. I lived on Warren Avenue so I speak from first hand experience. it would not surprise me for this to turn into a ghost town within a couple of decades. It is filthy dirty, the streets and infrastructure are in horrible condition, and is the only place I have ever lived that walking down a suburban sidewalk that I had to watch out for shards of broken glass from empty bottle of cheap vodka and rot gut whiskey, used needles, and used condoms. Not to mention, watching out for the cracked and generally worn out and broken bits of sidewalk itself and of course-the city has no money to fix any of it. The whole city with the exception of the commercial area and a small section of downtown and one wealthier neighborhood are all that remains worth trying to salvage-and it simply is not likely to happen in the long run. Unless they get a massive bit of luck on par with diving intervention-this city is a wasteland and likely to remain so.
That sucks. I hope something amazing happens to the city that brings it back to life.
No wonder my Coworker moved here to San Antonio from Detroit! Quite a step up from these horrid living conditions.
@Spooky Ravetastic🎃 Simple-illegal drug use. A lot of it black tar heroin (aka the cheapest version of heroin and the most deadly for any number of reasons) but honestly who know what all could be in those.

As they say in Real estate “Location, Location, Location.” We can see why these houses are being virtually given away. Rough neighbourhood, rundown part of town, gangsters for neighbours and lack of safety in general. Would be hard making a living from Real estate in this area
There's a reason why homes in *Detroit* are cheaper than similar-sized apartments in *Chernobyl.* 😨
Heh.
Chernobyl’s radiation is largely overblown. It’s not as if the air is toxic. It’s not STALKER or Metro. Most of the region has returned to wilderness and the plants and animals are doing just fine. Check out a documentary called Babushkas of Chernobyl about people still living there now.
@@VisonsofFalseTruths the fact that there are people there doesn't necessarily make it safe. There are also people still living in Detroit.
These neighborhoods are legit scary
Bezbot7 The pic goes well with the comment
Bezbot7 lol, it looks like a nuke exploded there.
Edit: and did graffiti. XD

"A dollar?"
Hannah Hallo OH MY GOD LOL
Yeah lol
Yas
A dollar for a houser?
OH MY GAAWDDD
Millennial POV: Wages are so low and cost of living is so high, I wouldn't even be able to afford fixing one of these houses to the point where it would be safe to live in :(
The taxes is what get ya. The homes are still fully taxed.
Yeah. Fixing a 50cal machine gun to the roof of the house is expensive. Ammo is over $1 per round..And the “law” is a pain in the ass about it too.
Rewild the whole neighborhood. Give it back to nature
looks scary and kind of post-apocalyptic. it's sad. esp. when there are so many homeless people too. it should be possible to bring both back together again.
contrary to popular belief. Many homeless people aren't homeless simply because they have no home.

Democratic leadership is doing wonders for Detroit.
Tiberian Fiend I predict that Michigan will (if he runs for reëlection) vote for trump by 8+% for Trump in 2020.
Now it's all republicans. I'll make a prediction about what will happen to Detroit: Nothing. If anything, it will get worse...
no fuck that dude,this problem wasn't brought on by Republicans so why should we be the ones that fix it ? I would fn love to see what that exact neighborhood looked like 1 year before Obama was elected....I guarantee you that it didn't look like this. Quit expecting the ppl you hate and blame for everything to fix your problems...be a adult...get up off your ass and better your own life....If your not willing to do that then stfu because you deserve to have nothing.....entitlement Is so fn sickening
Jason Boner lol democratic leadership is one of detroits many ills but it has much more to do with local and state officials than the president

I thank you for your honesty as a Detroit resident.
$1 to buy it. $300,000 to renovate it.
Treetops97 that's over the top. Realistically, it's one tenth of that
Treetops97 yea. That's why it's a dollar. U want them to fix it up for u too? Why not pay all ur expenses for ten years too. Lol oh wait they already have plenty of people like u there already.
Dont think you could even renovate these. Just tear them down
Paul Metcalf your point is? I simply said it would only cost around 30,000 for basic renovations. And 90% black isn't considered diverse.
Paul Metcalf Can you speak without repeating overused phrases? Or are you incapable of independent thought?
Wow, so sad to see what the Syrians have to live through...
Oh wait
Thats Detroit.
Cannon Fodder lol
Ffs, calm down there, that's a serious roast there!
Syria is the result of a dictator slaughtering his own people over 5 years while detroit is because of black people being black people.
Ridan A and the world wouldn't be such a racist place if it wasn't for white people being white people
oh you think so. I guess the Chinese Japanese and the Saudis are not racist at all. White people are the most tolerant people on the planet but that is changing I assure you.
Seems to me bulldozing those shambled non-houses would help the property value go up around the whole neighborhood.
This is not just in Detroit. As they noted, cities want to get these properties back on the tax rolls, generating revenue for them. The City has no ability or interest in managing these properties, so everyone was invited to look at them. Deal was: no taxes due for a year -- can you figure out how to rehab it and sell/rent it out by then?
all caused by evil, corrupt Democ-Rats
14000 ABANDONED homes and buildings in Detroit...its UNIQUELY bad in Detroit. And it follows the southern migration north. Know wha im sayin
Let's see... buy a home that's $1 in a crime riddled area where people will literally kill you for a fucking cigarette... No thanks. Detroit. "We're fucked. But we're still gonna charge you full price." At least we know why none of them went into business. They have no idea of the concept of supply + demand.
"We'll sell you this used car for $1. It doesn't run. Has no engine. No seats... it's just the frame and a couple doors. But we're gonna tax you like a brand new version, with all the options." - Detroit economics.
id turn this place into a paintball/airsoft arena
-Cut a deal with the city of detroit, re-class the area as one single environment (pay one purchase cost and one yearly tax)
-Fence it off, do light renovations so people dont cut or hurt themselves
-huge ass campaign
-become known in north america as the only true urban arena, people flock over
Pepsi Puppy good luck 🤷🏽♂️
it’s sounds like a smart idea but it would cost A LOT of money
first of all the drug residue in the houses, black mold, termites, asbestos, etc getting all those houses clear of that would cost more hundred of thousands of dollars
Some hoods low key are having paint ball wars up in the D
Pepsi Puppy ur such a dreamer pupperr 🐶😹
Patrolling Detroit almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.
I feel like it'd be hard to notice the difference.
Finally, houses in my price range.

@@toolboy1212p those are much nicer than Detroit bro
so the yearly tax is 2000 times the value of the property! brilliant Detroit
That's not even bad
MrRideutah in Columbus Oh (where I live) I pay about 620 yearly tax on my house
They pay tax on what the house is originally "worth". So, they paid $1 for a house, but they're paying taxes on a house "worth" 60k.
Mercy Touch well yea it's terrible I'm just saying if that neighborhood did come back and the house was repairable it would be worth it. At least for investors who like risk
how can that be much on 60. on mine of 280 under 3 grand
Never seen anything like this before, very bizarre!
Omg.. the town is quite depressed.... It is sad to see that the houses are vacant and that houses must have good memories, too..

"It's so sad to see all these people stealing from banks"
"Its only A neighbourhood, the whole city is not like this"... the city is much worse.
The city shouldn’t be able to put the house tax. Back as if it’s $60,000, when they just sold it for $1-$800. Knowing damn well it’s only worth $1.
mi state law say you can only tax at 50% of ture value
Detroit is run by liberals... of course they are going to try and tax every little thing for as much as they can
City fraud (corrupted) .. the whole neighborhood got scammed by the city.
And if the market recovers and the value does go up to 60k they will raise it again. Governments always do that, they never low taxes but they always raise them.
Great point. The city value it for a dollar so it should be tax on that value.
"come in at your own risk" that means DONT GO IN lol
