Hey Upstate! Looking to connect.
I'd like to introduce myself to this forum and see what kind of opportunities are out there. I am 21 year old currently living in Saratoga Springs and will be starting my final year of college this fall at Binghamton University. I study computer/data science with a concentration in geographical data.
Over the past year I have become obsessed with REI, from flipping to short-term/long-term rentals- you name it. Although I've spent countless hours on the forums and listening to BP Podcast, I have no real experience in the business.
I'd love to connect with anyone involved or just interested in REI in Upstate New York and talk about some real estate. I also have an interest in the rehab/construction/budgeting side of things as well.
Thanks
-Colton

HI all ... I'm in the Albany, NY area looking to connect as well. Sounds like there are more active BP members in the area than I had noticed prior. Would love to chat. I would be willing to host a Zoom intro call if there are others who are interested. At the very least to meet and talk about aspirations and challenges starting out. Let it evolve from there. I'm new as well ... currently on the hunt for my 1st house.
