I am pretty sure there are lots of houses one could buy for $300 dollars in Detroit and Flint that would generally fulfill many of those criteria.

We need more population here in Michigan, Detroit in particular, come on over.

Have you heard any details...

of the incentives for attracting police and fire-fighter personel. Is it true they are offering free homes in some areas?

I don't know if they are giving them away but close to it.

Can't say as I would want to live in downtown Detroit, when I go there its pretty sad.
