New Investor - Hi! Any investors/landlords here working in WNY?

[Kelvin Espinal]

Hi everyone!

About 6 months ago I began my journey to establish a passive stream of income and build a portfolio of rental properties. My practical experience as a Finance/Accounting Professional coupled with Brandon's book and this blog has helped me establish sufficient ground and we are ready to pull the trigger on a property. I've partnered with an old colleague, collected down payment funds, developed business plans and strategies, networked with other landlords/property investors, and selected Western New York (Rochester to begin) as our target Market.

I'm writing to the other's on this blog seeking advice for a new comer, to network with other like minded folks, contribute to conversations, and share/learn experiences in this space! To start, any of you working in WNY, specifically Rochester or Buffalo? Hoping to share some experiences along my journey! My partner and I are compiling properties, networking w/ property managers and agents while developing a target list of neighborhoods and properties to visit in May. Hoping to be placing offers before the end of Q2!

Look forward to great discussion!
