Looking to connect-house hack in Rochester, NY area

Hello everyone! 

I am looking to do a house hack on a duplex/triplex/fourplex around the Rochester, NY area for my first deal in 2024. I would like house hacking to be my first point of focus then move into MFHs/SFHs as I learn more.

I can contribute as I have a desire to continuously grow my knowledge, and I am willing to try new things and learn from others.

Let's connect and chat!

    Hey John,

    You’ve got the right idea! I think house hacking is the best way to get started.

    I’m in Albany, NY. I started with a duplex house hack in 2011. I then moved on to non-owner occupied small multi family deals, eventually using private financing. I currently own 160 units. None of that would have been possible if I didn’t make that first house hack purchase.

    In addition to the rental portfolio, I own a real estate brokerage. We don’t have any properties for sale in Rochester. But, we could possibly connect you with a good agent in the area if you don’t already have one.

    Also, if you have any questions about house hacking or investing in general, please feel free to reach out and DM me.

    Good luck! 

    Vitaliy
