New to Real Estate - Rochester, NY
Hi BP,
First time poster. I've been lurking on the site, reading the beginner's manual, and listening to some podcasts for a while. I'm interested in buy-and-hold MF and SF properties. In my 9-5 I'm a family therapist and I work at a local clinic here in Rochester. My wife and I are currently saving for our first purchase, so we can get our feet wet and get this investment ball rolling! The site has been super helpful so far with lots of great information.
