Up and coming neighborhoods of Rochester, NY

[Nick Fiammetta]

Hey all,

I'm interested in investing in Rochester. Specifically in the city where there's some historic value to lots of the homes. I know the city has its downside, but I'm curious if there's opportunity here.

A few questions:

Are there neighborhoods I should be looking at?

What should be avoided?

Anything I should know about the market currently or future outlook?

I would look to buy, reno and rent (or at least hold for 5-10 years), so a good contractor would be nice to have also. Recommendations appreciated. 

I'm open to SF homes and mult-fam.

Any info or advice is always appreciated.
