I will also check the crime maps and drop in the local police substation and ask them specifically about a certain property or block.

And as usual, there is very little info.Does anyone have any thoughts about how much of a battle it would be to evict descendants of the deceased, foreclosed-upon owner... and all of their friends (think Boyz 'n the Hood)?  

In the neighborhoods that I focus on, it's a surefire way to get the police called on you.

If you do, just think, you would also be providing a community service, helping counties provide schools, police etc, once these houses are again paying their way!!!

I dont know if your police but I believe there is a police credit union in golden just down the steet from the prision before the high school, or atleast was there 10 years ago. even if your not PD they may work with you a little better then a regular bank.

One firm note (lawyers, police), one note offering "cash for keys" - no response on either.

I advised her to call the police if he touches her again and notified a family member of the male tenant that this is unacceptable.

Until Detroit gets good leadership, has money to hire 4x the police force and crime decrease for about 5-8 consecutive years, its a speculative investment. 

Well I appreciate your insults, I'll take them under hard consideration /s I'm not the police, nor do I have any interest in monitoring how people live their life.
