More people reaching out to me, seeking justice against Doug Hirt, who continues to scam around Rochester, NY.   Beware . .  .

Hi Dave,

By what I saw of what you said regarding a guy from CA getting scammed by Doug Hirt, it looked like this happened while he is on probation. I have decided to file a Freedom Of Information Request and have gotten an attorney who has experience in going after the like of Doug. In pulling some records from the clerks office, it looks like you got a reimbursed your $3500. Good for you, but wondered if you would share on how you accomplished that. Also, I am going to compile a list of people that have been scammed by him. Would you be so kind as to provide any names and contact info you have. I recognize that if you have gotten back your money, you probably want to eliminate all memory of him, but there are still some that would like to see justice.

Would appreciate any information updates you have. Thanks

I live in North Carolina and own 4 rental homes here (three I bought with cash and 1 has a small mortgage).  I have been looking at the rental home market in Rochester, NY for the past several weeks and have pinpointed a collection of homes for sale in and around the city that seem to have a good potential.  Using available data and financial techniques I developed over time I identified a few neighborhoods that have homes that if bought and rented could provide the mix or rental income and gross yield that I seek.  I'm not from the area and was hoping for input/advice on these neighborhoods from a local person.  I don't want to be in poor areas and prefer pleasant and safe working class neighborhoods with low turnover.  Can anyone advise me?

The neighborhoods I have located that seem to fit my interest:  Charlotte, Dewey, Greece, Uptonville, Irondequoit.  Areas west side of the Genesee River near downtown see generally good.
