Troy New York - North Central / Lansingburgh

[Manuel Cordero]

Hi BP community. I have read a few posts regarding Lansingburgh and North Central in Troy, New York. A few of these posts are two or three years old.  Below are a few questions I wanted to ask to anyone who has recently invested in North Central/Lansingburgh.

How was your experience finding contractors? If it was a renovation job was it easy to find labor for demo and finishes?

Has anyone had experience with the Troy Community Land Bank? How is the process of obtaining a property from them?

Would you recommend ground-up construction? I have a background  in architecture with experience in construction management. Curious if anyone has had any luck going through the process of planning approval up in Troy.

Thank you for your time.
