I don't know about Detroit,but Flint Mich practically is.I grew up there,and its nothing to find homes for $15,000-$20,000.These were very desirable neighborhoods when I grew up there in the '70's,and actually,some of homes and/or neighborhoods aren't bad today.But the real estate market isn't there anymore.Its about as unpopular as property in the middle of nowhere with poor access and no power,considered undesirable by most.

Alaska's land isn't the cheapest to buy. When purchased outside an organized borough it is the cheapest to own. Zero rent to the government each year. Compared to the northeast US it is an unreal bargain not to mention no zoning and no building codes.

I saw a piece in your neck that was dirt cheap. The only problem was that the only access to it was a "navigable " river.

I looked at places a little bit ago up there and there are some great deals. But to much snow for me now lol.


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Just before I came on here I was looking at property north in Houghton county,thats the tip of the U.P.I found more than a few similar to what you described,a 40 going for $27,500,another 40 for $25,000.If you like locations like this,with lonnnnngggg winters you'll love it there.Most people don't.

Pike,you jarred a memory from 40 years ago.I was 18,and wanted to head north(I lived in southern Michigan then).I got a bunch of real estate brochures and found property on one of the major rivers up here.Only access was by boat.I can't remember now if they were 10 acre or 20 acre lots,the price was somewhere in the $5,000 range.I asked Dad, becaused I respected his opinion (and the fact him and my mom were born and raised in the U.P.).He took one look at it and told me I was out of my mind.That was one time I wished I ignored his advice.
