Homeless guy bought an abandoned house in Detroit for $1500 and fixed it up over several years. It actually looks really good.
He eventually found work as a day laborer, asked a lot of questions, and learned how to do a lot of the work himself by watching craft guys. Kind of cool to see the transformation (like pbubel's) from probable crack house to nice home.

The story of their four-bedroom home dates back to November 2009, when Gray bought it from his nephew for just $1,500.
Before purchasing the home, Gray was living in his niece's basement. He told Business Insider he was homeless and that despite having a college degree, he was unable to find work in Detroit.
