The Detroit Free Press alsofound records showing that Eminem's mother bought the house for $19,900 in 1987.

Reports also showed she signed the deed over to Ann Investment in 1994, and the property was owned by about ten different parties before Wayne County Treasurer's Office foreclosed the house in 2001.



Eminem and his mother Debbie Nelson have had a turbulent relationship, with many arguments happening inside the four walls of the Dresden Street house.



In Debbie;s 2008 book My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem, she described the house on Dresden.

'Marshall loved it so much that he had a model of it made to take on tour with him,' she wrote.

'Even though we'd moved a lot, he always said the house on Dresden was his childhood home.'

According to MLive, property records show that it's been in the Land Bank's possession since last October.



According to the Free Press, the property is one of 4,000 others transferred to the Michigan Land Bank after it failed to sell for the minimum bid at auction last year.

Estimates on various listing sites put its value in the mid-$30,000s.

According to Detroit News, a previous owner once listed the house on eBay for $500,000, but received no bids.

Back in 2010, Eminem talked to Spin about how he's visited his old home on Dresden Street as it's changed over the years, and said: 'It may sound corny, but I'll go by and try to remember how things were when I was in those houses.



'I'll go back and remember, like, f***, man, how life was back then. How much of a struggle it was. As time goes by, you might get content and forget things.'
