Any house you find for that low of a price is not a house you want to buy unless you are going to raze it and only wanted the property.

Houses in decent neighborhoods are well-priced compared to other cities and the surrounding suburbs, however the property tax is higher. You aren't going to pay $500 for a house you can live in, though, that's a media myth.

$30-50K on a foreclosure that will require significant work is more realistic.

Though since you believed houses you could live in, in a major city, were literally selling for $500 im guessing you're quite naive.

So, yes, I also have some homes i will sell you. Very cheap.

There are groups like Greening of Detroit trying to clean up contaminants to make this sort of thing more feasible but they're literally planting trees that take a while to grow, I don't think you can have your land ready within a couple years unless you're prepared to spend a lot of money.

I have to ask, what is the little island of red in the sea of blue?

As an actual serious question, what is it like in Michigan?

It's either New Center or Hamtramck. New Center is one of the neighborhoods that have been attracting new (white) residents lately, Hamtramck has historically been a Polish immigrant town (as well as Yemeni, Bangladeshi, Bulgarians and others in recent decades)
