So I am on the road right now but I rent a house in detroit, but I have also secured a house I am trying to squat. I am however trying to legally own it. Does anyone have personal experience taking over a house in detroit?
I have talked to a neighbor of the squat and he also squated his house and purchased the deed. this is how he told me he did it.
1. secure the house (change locks, replace doors, windows, bars, etc.)
2. Get mail sent to the house. Preferably government mail such as an obama phone or food stamps card something like that.
3. Tell the city hall after about a month of getting mail there that you are living there and that your interested in buying the title/deed via quitclaim.
4. If the house is available in a tax sale they will offer you first dibs on the spot for $500.
Does this sound about right?
