Living and working in (near) Detroit, I always get a lot of questions about the investment opportunity in this publicly ridiculed "broken" city.
I read a piece this weekend chronicling a man's journey of buying one of those famous $500 houses in the city and fixing it up.
Although this is an account of one story in a sea of others, it's still worth a read: http://www.buzzfeed.com/drewphilp/why-i-bought-a-house-in-detroit-for-500
Hope everyone had a good weekend.
