@Cheryl Vawdrey when I was looking to buy a property in Pittsfield last year I got a few positive references for Wendy at Leading Edge PM http://www.propertymanagement-rentals.com/index.html - maybe check her out and do let me know what happens! My deal fell thru on that one, it was a 3-unit.

@Donald Streed we'd love to hear more about your experience in the Saratoga Springs NY market. Welcome to BP!

@Michael Gansberg thank you for an amazingly valuable post! I will definitely be in touch with you soon.

@Brian Rosher, thanks for the info and the new tool for my investing toolbox, communitycrimemap.com! BTW, I was looking at an MLS property in Mechanicville about a month ago, do you invest where you live? How is the area? Seems like a nice town.

@Derick O., any updates? How is your rental in Middletown going 10 months in? Have you acquired any more properties?

Don't have personal experience yet but I don't think Troy has D neighborhoods. Could be wrong.

Hey @Account Closed, thanks for the input and sharing your personal experience! I also thought that the Brooklyn comparison was rather farcical but I didn't want to come out sounding opinionated in the first post. Eric, I do like the look of some of the properties in the surrounding area. And a 2 family for $80k that rents for $900 & $700 is already the 2 percent rule!

Looking forward to hearing from others as well :)

Did that subject title get your attention? Good! :) I saw this super-hype phrase used in a property listing yesterday. It also said Troy is the "new Saratoga Springs". The question I pose to our august Upstate New York contributors is - is this all hype, is there something to it, or a mix of both? Is Troy really "up and coming" or has there just been a slow improvement in certain areas?

Looking forward to everyone's input.

 Yes, yes! I want a followed "feed" where I can see posts only from those I follow. I found this post thread because before I started my own discussion I wanted to look around and see if anyone else was talking about... what's the point of the follow feature anyway? I've spent a good amount of time clicking around and the only benefit I can see so far is you can get a list of people you "followed" and then go to each one's profile independently. Tedious...

@Mindy Jensen thanks for asking for the feedback.

Hi @Mahmoud Amin, welcome to BiggerPockets! One great way to get more contacts and grow your network is to jump in on the forums, ask questions and contribute your knowledge. Fill out your profile, get people to notice you, and they will often want to continue a conversation through private messaging, email or phone.

Best of luck to you.
