1st stop Albany N.Y.
Hello,
I decided i will invest in Albany NY in 2019. I zeroed in on three zip codes 12202, 12206 and 12208. Where can i go (online) to find out more about these areas. I would love to chat with anyone who is from the area about things that only someone with boots on the ground would know like rents for 1,2,3 and 4 bedroom units. Also what areas should i stay away from? What towns are all the universities in? Why are all of the buildings so old? Last but not least, i don't know what i don't know so please fill me in on that too.

@Adam Nye The only research I’ve done was going on Redfin and searching Albany zip codes until i found the ones with the most Multifamily properties on the market. I agree 12208 properties are higher in cost but the numbers still work for me. I run the numbers on 1 Multifamily property everyday. I will take you up on that offer and will be reaching out to you soon with questions. Thanks for your help.
