I‘ve been buying in Rochester in recent months, lots of gentrification going on around the city.

The big surprise will likely be deferred maintenance and heating related expenses. I have two triplexes in L/A and I'm spending around 3-4k annually in heating oil for each. Occupancy has been great and collections can be interesting. Avoid downtown Lewiston, here is a story about a downtown shootout that happened earlier this week: https://www.sunjournal.com/202....

Also, here is a map of neighborhoods to avoid based off of a previous thread from my PM @Carl Heberthttps://www.google.com/maps/d/....

 Thanks Eric, yea have seen that map, looking at a unit at the northern edge of that map. 

I started to look at Lewiston as well. Numbers do look good especially on multi. Anyone with experience in downtown Lewiston? Have heard it’s rough but would be interested to heard how thats translates into vacancy & maintenance. Thanks!

 Thanks, probably difficult to do private money since cap rate is around 5.5% and I'm looking to hold. this deal only makes sense if I can get 3-4% rates for 30Y. Otherwise I'm better off looking for a 2-4plex. I got 3.5% interest rate on a 4plex recently.

Morgan Stanley told me that they can only do up to 4plex. Anyone know of local mortgage brokers who can arrange financing? Thanks

Income around 300k a year; credit score 750-800; have existing mortgage on investment properties but they are well covered by rent. No other debt. Deal size around 600k, can do 20% down.
