The county which was looking to collect on the back taxes that it was owed through the foreclosure process decided to auction off all of the homes in a lump package deal to anyone that was willing to pay the price.
“I got a deal nobody else could have got,” he told MyFoxDetroit.com. “I paid all the back taxes that was due and that’s what the county wanted.”
Mr. McMachen says he expects to make $2 million on his investment and intends to let the homes go at an affordable rate to potential buyers.
He says the only difference now is that the potential buyers will actually be able to see what shape the interior of the home looks like.
