Property management company NY Capital region area (Alb Troy Sch)

[Carl Fordyce]

I'm from the Long Island area of NY I'm considering investing in the capital region of NY(Albany Troy Schnectady etc) for buy and hold. Before I do I'm trying to find some good reliable property management companies that work in that area.  Does anyone have any recommendations that they wouldnt mind referring to me.

Thanks

@Carl Fordyce Yes, but it might be a logistical challenge for you. There is a very strong and active REIA in the area (Action Investors Network) of which I am a member. Through the group I have met many tradesmen (also members) that I feel comfortable using for those services. They are vetted obtusely through the group (because their reputation is established by experiences other members have with them), and I've come to know them personally after attending months of meetings with them.

Since RE investing is a big commitment, I might suggest planning a local trip to our market around one of the monthly meetings and get yourself connected a bit.  Real estate is a relationship business, and it's really hard to get a feel for someone via email or phone that you can trust with your investment.
