RIP Dayton Lot Links! Whats next?

[Gordon Starr]

Hi BP, I have been an active buyer of really cheap houses in Dayton, OH for years. So, I was a bit perturbed when Dayton announced it would stop taking applications for "Lot Links" last December. For those of you who worked this program, I salute you! You had to be brave when you went in to check them out! Toward the end they were selling for $750 per lot, with or without a house. Where can you find cheap housing stock around town now? Its more than a casual interest for me, I actually want to buy more. Look what it did for the North Riverdale area. There used to be like 20% abandoned properties, now those places are almost all torn down or rehabbed. What a difference!
