New member from Buffalo, NY

[Garrett Hodgson]

Hi all, I am a somewhat-new member who has actually lurked a lot and even posted a little bit, but am just getting around to making my introductions.  My apologies on being a rude newb :)

I joined because I am interested in investing in rental properties and buy-and-hold scenarios.  I also have a soft spot for rehabs as my growing up my family did a decent number of them as a way to "house hack."

Right now I own and occupy a SFH in Williamsville and have another SFH on the market in North Buffalo (our former residence). We're currently trying to sell but I'm toying with the idea of hanging on to it and turning it into my first rental. Not sure on the pros/cons of SFH in that neighborhood so I'm interested to hear what other knowledgeable folks have to say.

Hi guys,

My husband and I are newbies from California but considering investing in Buffalo. We are interested in rental properties but I'm just starting to investigate the area to see if money can be made there. Any guidance would be really appreciated and it would also be nice to know other investors in the area!
