310 Homes Bought for 2M - $6.5k/Home

I don't know how else to sum this up but was blown away when I just saw this 10 minute Vice - report on how Detroit is a heaven for investors buying off owner-occupied homes who fail to pay city-county taxes. Wayne county penalizes these residents and VOILA - its a heaven for investors scooping up entire neighborhoods for pennies. 

Still don't believe me? Watch below.

A quick realtor.com check doesn't show me much of these but i am sure folks on BP here would have bought from the state-auction website - anyone in here can please shed some light on how to go about scooping such cheap hell of a deal(s) through state auction websites?

Other than having the cash-reserves ready and battling it out in the auction, what else is required?

@Varun Parkash Thanks for sharing; however, I won't say this is heaven for investors. 

Anyone who has listened to the BP Podcast knows how Josh feels about Detroit and for good reason lol! *only joking*
