Purchasers should plan on making a range of repairs to the property, and bidders are strongly encouraged to review the attached Pre-Sale Inspection Report for more detail. Please also note that at closing the purchaser will be responsible for paying all properly-assessed property taxes not otherwise exempt pursuant to the statutory authority of the Detroit Land Bank.
