@Paul Linnertz Hi Paul, I too am looking to invest in some student rentals in Albany Currently finishing up my MBA there and I played lacrosse there undergrad as well.
I’m looking to buy a place this upcoming winter and build from there.
I’m no expert, but I have lived on almost every street I’m downtown Albany (Myrtle, Hamilton, and Hudson) so if you ever need some insight into the student market place feel free to reach out!
