Housing bargains in the city of Detroit are so good that some buyers are getting them in bulk with purchases of 100 or more, according to a story in the Detroit Free Press this morning.
The story quotes some buyers who say they can pick-up a livable $85,000 in the city for $20,000 to $30,000 during these hard economic times.
Is there a silver-lining here for our struggling and biggest city in the state or are these buyers just vultures picking over the near dead?
