@Caleb Barney For staging a lot of people that I know use Kara at Kasa Interiors. https://kasainteriorscle.com/ Her warehouse is in Bedford, and she handles the entire City.

@Gaya Ben Simon Whereabouts in the city are you looking?

@James Kelsey Welcome. If you end up looking out our direction feel free to reach out, i am an investor and agent. Or if you have questions that aren't market specific I would be happy to help with that as well. 

 People have keyword alerts set up, and then someone arrives and pitches their town, which then triggers a lot of other keyword alerts to be triggered. It is a feedback loop. 

If you poke around you will see many of the same folks hitting the same posts in waves. 

 Exactly, the GC is hardest part to get right and is absolutely crucial from out of state.

@Ryan Groene

Come meet your fellow investors, service providers, and lenders in a casual, no-pitch, environment. Your network is your net worth.We meet the last Thursday of every month.

There will be pitching or presentations. Come and invest in yourself and your future.

@Kerry-Ann Bennett-Smith What roles do you need help with? 

 To my point, that is a very specific type of investing, and obviously the worst of it is being shown for entertainment. It is not indicative of what the majority of investors, in this market or elsewhere, may experience. 

Even the generalization that out of state investors want the cheapest properties with the highest yields isn't entirely true. I have an out of state client here who doesn't own a property that leases for less than $3,000/door.

You never know what someone is actually referring to. If that Zillow economist is referring to the affordability of the market in general, and you are looking at crime stats for the inner city, you may come to the wrong conclusion. 

MF cap rates in this market may rank higher than other markets, in general, or they could have been referring to just within the city limits. That makes a big difference when you are trying to make a decision. 

Just read the threads on here and listen to people talk past each other. One person is extrapolating out the depths of the inner city to the entire market as far as long term viability for investment, when the other person is actually considering A/B neighborhood buy and hold.
