@Christian Hutchinson I liked your story about missing out by investing in a suburb(Madison Heights I think) instead of Woodward Ave in the heart of Detroit.Please Tell it again for all of the people that are still reading 10 year old newspapers in the barbershop.A lot of these houses in this neighborhood were selling for $25,000 and less when I moved to Detroit!
