Syracuse / Rochester Markets

[Abraham Rahmanizadeh]

Hi everyone,

I am looking to start investing in the Syracuse and Rochester areas and I am curious to hear from other investors in the area as to what they think of the market currently? For Syracuse specifically the west side / skunk city area which seems to have decent cash flow opportunities due to low purchase prices and reasonable rents coupled with low property taxes and low insurance.. 

As for Rochester I have the same question with the areas just east of the airport such as 19th ward and the areas north of the airport as well but west of the Gensee river.

Am I missing something? Would love to hear from people with experience in the area. I am planning on driving out to both cities to scope out the areas and better familiarize myself with the different parts of each city later this month / January.

Thanks to everyone in advance! Let me know if I can be of any help to you (have invested in Central / South Florida and currently living in NYC).
