Take this as a learning curve and keep your eyes on the next deal coming your way.

I'm not trying to sell anything, just to point out my thoughts.The first eye opener to me is that on that exact webpage that you linked to the property shows the property valuation to be $31,000-$58,000.

I'd rather stick a fork in my eye than focus my time on SEO & SEM (although I do know there's much value in both). 

@Charles Stewart III do have some experience with Do Hard MoneyIt neither a positive nor a negative, its in the middleI like them in the fact that it's a second set of eyes looking at the deal.

This was definitely an eye opener I'll admit and I know I could make a much wiser decision today.

I ended up paying as so many of the nice young folks I could tell this was a financial strain. busy professionals usually have zero time for this activity we are simply too busy running our companies and we owe a fiduciary to out investors clients and others to keep our eye on our stuff not run around trying to train someone who has limited to know experience.So go get educated of how re works.. forget the internet .. study your state license course then go work for a real company  not some one off investor.

I also live in NYC area and tried to find a way to start investing in real estate, and this project really opened my eyes.

You trip your friend and then you pee in his eyes so he goes nowhere!!

Looking deep into my own eyes didn’t drive me through lean months.

In the eyes of the bank  I should look like a great person to give a loan too.
