Having dug a little deeper myself, I think you're right.... it's too good to be true:https://www.inforuptcy.com/filings/tnmbke_340059-3...I'd consider buying from them COD but I wouldn't send them money without having the product in hand first.  

Diving right into it, I live in NYC and the prices here are absolutely insane.

You sorta just have to dive in anywhere and sift through all the misinformation and learn what's best for you. 

Diving right into it, I live in NYC and the prices here are absolutely insane.

I am interested in purchasing turn-key investing, but I would like to have a deeper understanding of how they form and function.

They wake early, eager to dive in.

Without diving into the actual address and area (and possibly spoiling the deal), this is how I'd go about it.The internal math part: A Class B neighborhood is decent enough thus I would do a modified 1% rule calculation.

Or dive right in and gain experience at a younger age?

Look, there's little point in getting into buy and hold if you're not going to buy 10s or 100s of units so you might as well dive in. 

Do a deep dive and see what fits your life and go with that.Best of luck and happy investing!
