8-mile for $1

It almost seems poetic that a childhood home of a superstar rapper is going for a song amidst a struggling market. One of the Detroit homes that Eminem grew up in currently is on sale with a minimum bid of $1, according to Detroit Free Press.

The property is owned by Michigan Land Bank, a government project that manages vacant and abandoned homes - and there are another 11,000 like it in Detroit. Despite the property being worth over $30,000, and having featured on the front cover of Eminem's "The Marshall Mathers LP", the house may remain just one of the 30 per cent of Detroit's housing units that are currently vacant.
