Can anyone recommend some good neighborhoods to look into within Newark?  Trying to stay away from the higher crime areas.

Looking for a seasoned realtor recommended by the community in Bergen and Essex counties to purchase multifamily buildings.  Anyone recommend someone?

I was doing some research and insignia mortgage popped up.  Anyone heard or have done business with them?

I've been using postlets, but they do not reach all sites.  Is there an alternative site I should use instead that would include Rent.com, Apartments.com, Homes.com, etc?  Seems each site has their own fee structure for listings.  Is there a company that has an all in one package for said service?

Yes, I mean my realtor.  I am not leaving Albany, just expanding to the suburbs to expand my portfolio.  I am purchasing multi family, and I already have 12 of them in Albany.  My realtor suggested both Menands & Colonie as two suburbs to consider.  The info I've been pulling in from my research seem positive for both.  Both stable markets, decent rents and growth appreciation.  Albany common is great in terms of rents, however, growth, not too much with multi families. 

Thanks, but looking for info on Menands NY & Colonie NY, not properties in Troy or Cohoes.

I am looking to expand outside of downtown Albany, and two of my brokers recommended to look into Menands NY & Colonie NY.  I wanted to get the tone from the people here @ BiggerPockets.  I know real estate values have gone up quite a bit in Colonie.  However, in Menands, there is some additional room to grow.  Plus, there seems to be stable rents and decent tenants.

Can others give me their take?  Much appreciated.

Check your email.

Anyone have any recommendations on banks/mortgage brokers to reach out to in the New York area?

There are many properties, so mortgaging all of them one by one would be a long process.  Anyone know of a good NY mortgage broker who can assist?
