Buying houses on Ebay? Detroitka?

Chucken · 26-07-2013 11:27PM

I'm one of those odd people who have never bought anything off ebay...this could be the start of something huge!!!!
Buying property is the only way to go, what could possibly go wrong?

Oh, I'll have to set up a paypal a/c too, wont I?

I'm gonna ask him to post it to Ireland and mark it as a gift. Hopefully, it'll dodge customs.

If Detroit is 'The American Dream' then God help America.!!

yeah, I think you will. But hey, a property for 5.50? whats stopping you?

Imagine, you could buy one property a week and build your portfolio that way, then in a years time, swan into Detroit like a Boss:)

What about if the government here gave half of us unemployed the money to buy a few streets. Open a bar...or something..job done! We'd be out of their hair and Detroit would get back on its feet. Sounds so ridiculous it might work?

Sounds very cheap alright, just don't mention to the Irish that dreaded property tax. You'll be lynched!

Must be a property boom with prices going up like that, nearly doubled! Gotta get on that detroit property ladder. Rent is dead money...sorry, meant if you rent there you would be dead and they'll take your money.

well in fairness, we'd probably be as great (LOL) as the property developers in this country were over the years..

shruikan2553 · 27-07-2013 12:27AM

What if we each buy a place on a cul de sac and wall up the entrance. because its america we can buy guns and guard the entrance shooting everyone comes near. We can call it Little Ireland with a bunch of houses, a pub, shop and post office.

I've no idea. Whats the $250 for?

deco nate · 27-07-2013 12:39AM

"fees" i think..

Senna · 27-07-2013 12:42AM

The tax is big if you don't live in the house, so you can/could buy a house for less than $250 but you would pay $3000+/- tax per year. If you live in the house you'd pay next to nothing.
