First Time Investor, Interested in Albany, NY

[Keisha Moore]

Hi All!

I am a first time investor living in Hong Kong but was born and raised in Westchester NY. I am interested in investing in a property in Albany, NY but I'm curious about class A,B,C neighbors. I am in the process of reviewing a property on Sheridan Ave, although I am not as familiar with the neighborhood or the areas around it. From what I can tell it appears to be more if a class C neighborhood but would love the opinions of anyone who is familiar with Albany or the area itself.
Also, are there any areas that you may recommend as a first time investor-friendly location? I am looking for more of a class B neigborhood but would be interested in class C at the right price and of course possibility for reliable tenants. Would love to hear anyones thoughts!

@Keisha Moore - I'm started investing in Albany last year. 

I'm limiting my search to these areas - Pine Hills, Melrose, Park South, New Scotland, Center Square, Helderberg, Buckingham and areas around SUNY. Here is a map. Hope that helps.
