People were buying at 96th St and 2nd the day the first article hit the newspaper about a new subway line. 

Before I relent and go with the flow or stand my ground and ask for compensation, I need some advice.I am buying a rental property and it was supposed to finally close last week, contract date is 08/22 and closing date was to be 10/03.

Just spot checking the search results there are addresses I know are barely standing, partially burned, or boarded up, that they have categorized as "occupied". 

The pictures may be off a little bit on scale, cause when I'm actually standing in the space, it feels more crowded to me than maybe it looks in the drawing. 

By my calculations, with this scenario I stand to make about $86K. ($525K [sales price] - $34K [commissions/closing costs] - $5K [holding costs] - $400K [total investment] = $86K)In the worst case scenario, if I went over budget by 20% and sold for 10% less (both of which I think are unlikely, but preparing for the worst) I would still make a much less impressive $4K, but at least I wouldn't lose (and would likely learn some vauable lessons). ($472K [sales price] - $31K [commission/closing costs] - $5K [holding costs] - $432K [total investment] = $4K)I'm fairly confident with my numbers, I went over the bid with the contractor line by line to ensure it was complete, and checked the recent comps and comfirmed with my realtor.
