From Montreal looking into buying my first property in the US. Adirondack STR

[Spencer Aitchison]

Hello all, I am from Montreal, Quebec and own a duplex locally. I am looking to diversify and start with either buying a lot of land to build on or a fixer upper to turn into a STR in the upstate NY Adirondack area (2 hours drive for me). But also use if it's not rented.

I am looking for recommendations for a realtor that works in that area. + if they are knowledgable about the STR market in the area.

Has anyone had success with STR in the Adirondack area that would like to share tips/tricks or things to stay away from. 

Thanks so much
