Looking for information from investors in the upstate NY market

[Jav Caprietta]

I am looking to branch out to upstate NY. I am not familiar with the market and I will not be local. Can anyone share their experience finding property managers, tenants, vacancies, people to maintain the properties?

"Upstate" New York covers a whole lot of ground, and it depends on who you ask what it even means.  Do you mean Albany or Buffalo?  Or are you a downstater who thinks everything north of the Bronx is upstate?  Where, specifically, are you looking? Drilling down on that would be a good start.
