Failing in Real Estate, Succeeding on the Web
May 27th, 2007 by Tre Pryor, Editor-in-ChiefHow do you lose your proverbial shirt in real estate, then turn it into a profit? Casey Serin did it by blogging. And making a lot of enemies along the way.
After running up a debt of $170,000 in failed real estate endeavors, he decided to tell the world how much he hated how things have turned out. To his surprise (and mine) people are hitting his site by the thousands!
“A community formed overnight,” Serin said in an interview. “It wasn’t a very positive community.”
It’s a strange phenomenon when people who dislike Serin, tune in to his site for entertainment. A kind of cyber mob mentality. The guy deserves our pity more than anything else. To make as many bad decisions as he has and still have the fortitude to press on does speak well of his determination (if not his intellect).
