I am often contacted regarding the purchase of abandoned houses. Unfortunately, I am not involved with the sale of any houses in Detroit, nor any programs to give away abandoned properties. I can only assume the misunderstanding is related to some of the articles online in which my photos appear.
Fortunately, there are programs, groups, and people who are involved with the sale of abandoned properties. One such group is the Detroit Land Bank Authority, and houses up for auction are available at: www.buildingdetroit.org.
