Hi, 

I know this is kind of last minute. I am interested in investing in a decent neighborhood for good cash flow withing 2 hours of driving from NYC. 

I am going to drive through cities/towns of Hudson valley tomorrow, 4/15/2017 and 4/16/2017. If you are interested in this area, I can pick you up along the way. (I am driving from Lowell, MA)

I did a quick trip through NewBurgh, Beacon, Poughkeepsie, Kingston, Troy, Scranton, PA etc a few months back. I feel this area has potential and I should drive deeper into it.

I work at IBM in Lowell, MA . I will start early in the morning. Give me a shout out if you're interested.

I am also booking an airbnb at Beacon , and plan to asses the airbnb profitability there. 

Thanks

Sourabh

The trip was great. I am going there tomorrow again. 

I spoke to gas station owners, locals, NYC transplans.. students and even cops.

Took a walk across high bridge in poughkeepsie and wondered, why, with solid employers like IBM , natural beauty and so many educational institutes, Poughkeepsie was overshadowed by Beacon,

Also marveled at the beauty of Newburgh. 

I spoke to couple of investors on phone and hope to meet @Eric Hrlbock this weekend.
