Fire sale in Gary, Indiana: Homes for $1

Gary, Indiana is an incredibly high crime area, so they aren't much of a bargain.
 
so it must improve for those thugs can get off the streets into their new cheap homes...
 
There's the flash, you have to earn $35,000 a year or more to able to afford to rehabilate the home. I'm sure most of them are investors to make a profit on these homes. I wouldn't live there because the crime there is pretty high. It's a dumpy suburb of Chicago.
 
Chicago is in Illinois... Gary is in Indiana... Just saying... O.o Indiana has crime just like everywhere else, but it's not nearly as terrible as Chicago... lol

Oh wow I didn't realize it was that terrible there... I am not a fan of Tampa, so I live in Clearwater / St. Petersburg... the 25 miles is enough. =P Hehe... I go visit Tampa, but I don't want to live there.... especially with all the calls to 911 there... omg...

Gary is part of Chicago metro and they are in central time zone.

Most part of Indiana is in eastern time zone.

They are not same - northwest Indiana.
 
how about those rich property developers buy the whole lot and bulldozer it all out, and build a football stadium? and have 'cage fights' :giggle::giggle:
 
I've drove through Gary many times. Yes, they do have some car dealerships. One of them has a cool Simca. I wanted to stop and take some pictures, but I worry that I would be shot just for taking pictures.
 
Gary, IN is one of the top ten most dangerous cities in the US. It gets about 40-50 murders in a city of only under 80,000 people. It peaked 178,000 in 1960.
 
Buy it for a dollar, and get hooked on property taxes, forget it!

If it is acreage property (100+ acres) in middle of nowhere like in West Virginia, then yeah I will go for it! Law abiding gun owners are most welcome.

Yeah, seriously considering moving down to WVA closer to DC/MD/VA and may join with friend of mine and start a company where I could do electrical work, including Ethernet cabling but no computer work! Perhaps manufacturing hard wired alert system for fire alarm, carbon monoxide detector, doorbell and telephone calls alert system. They are made out of high quality INDUSTRIAL grade components, not like stuff from Harris comm or something like that and sorry they aren't cheap. If you need but cheap one, call Harris, not me.
 
I will not want to live there in Gary, IN...forget it.
 
I want to buy some hunting property here in Missouri, maybe a bit south of here, but anywhere that's not too far to drive, west county or South of me. Don't know how much land I will actually need/want, depending on if I have a hunting partner or group to hunt with, maybe pool together and buy it like a buddy of mine did with his friends, but they drive all the way up to north west Missouri and actually leave the state just to double back in to get to their northern Missouri property, and winters get bad fast up there. When I went with him to set up their tree stands, we got a call saying a bad storm was moving in, it was clear and sunny that day, but quickly clouded up and we left at nightfall, we were racing the ice storm, we got half way back home and a farmer called him and said they are iced in, cant get out to the main road and all roads are closed... this was all within 3 hours. We hit rain and snow, some sleet on the way back but was light. After getting home, about 4 hours later we got it in the city ( 6hr drive from the property ) We would have been ok if we got iced in, had plenty of food and hunting if needed, but we wouldn't have been able to get home to go to work, it was bad for about a week out there.
