I also know that very cheap houses are not worth looking at.The area where I located this particular house is in a good area, property is cheap, from what description says in a good condition " requiring minimal work".The street and this particular house look very impressive in google earth map, the property has been listed very recently and already has 2 offers on it.So I reckon it must be a good place if there is two offers placed , most likely by local buyers/investors.I know I need to go to see Detroit , I know it is a very depressed area, 25% unemployment, I know what is it's racial profile, and I know it's been voted by forbes as the city with the highest crime rate in the country, i know houses uninhabited are very quickly vandalized, expensive stuff stolen ( copper in particular) and it cost a lot of money to bring it back to a good condition.I know it's been losing it's population since 1967 riots took place, and recently the population loss has accelerated, but houses in some desirable areas are so very cheap and can produce a good cash flow if bought for this purpose.There are some things that I can not learn by asking in this forum , but there are some that i can like:1. how to find a good buyers agent that will be working for me?
