Syracuse NY BP meetup in late March/early April?
Is anyone interested in a BP meetup in Syracuse, NY the last week in March or first week in April? I will be in town for a couple weeks working on a couple recently acquired SFHs and would love to talk to people who are investing in the area as well.
Thanks,
will

@Sean Tracey I am referring to the military. Fort Drum is the largest employer in the area (Jefferson County). Much of the rest of the economy consists of hospitality or service industries that serve the military population and their dependents, as well as all of the civilian govt employees/contractors that work on the base of course. The second largest employer is the hospital system as Fort Drum does not have a hospital or school system on post (which makes it somewhat unique) and is closely tied into the entire region. Unfortunately with multiple rounds of Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC), if Fort Drum was to be significantly downsized at some point it would really decimate the current local economy including housing. Drum has already been on the chopping block multiple times and was very fortunate to make it through the last round of cuts relatively unscathed.
