Christine Beatty, who Detroit 1.0-ers will remember from the Kwame Kilpatrick text messaging scandal of 2008, declared bankruptcy in 2013. Now a home she used to own is being sold off after the bank reclaimed it. The four-bedroom, 2,000 square-foot home looks livable, but could clearly use some updates. Out tipster reminds us that she got help from Kwame and Fifth Third bank to buy the home before the scandals broke. Zillow says the home last sold in 2004 for $255,000. The current ask is $119,000.
