Thanks everyone for your input!  Much appreciated! Again, the bigger pockets community delivers! 

Hi everyone,

Can anyone refer an excellent, knowledgable, communicative and aggressive CPA in the NYC or Hudson Valley area?

Thank you. 

@Domion Pontrelli I bought two properties in Newburgh last year and every day I am looking to buy more. I owe this all to my friend @Nadene Grey who bought several about five years ago and just another last year. We have homes across the street from each other and do not plan on going anywhere. Mind you, we both worked in some of NYC's prestigious neighborhoods and Newburgh is a breath of fresh air for us. We run though the city when the weather permits; we never feel unsafe. Sure, there are shady parts but no more than one would find in pockets of Manhattan. Everyone makes eye contact and says hello. Despite much of the bad rap that Newburgh has been given in previous decades, never have I had an encounter that has made me prefer Soho or the god forsaken Meatpacking District and the $25 martini's they offer. 

Investors, home buyers, transplants and alike do not just look at the crime and drugs; which are on a fierce trajectory of decline but the rising potential and rehabilitation in addition to the charm and history that Newburgh offers. 

There is a built in network and support of homeowners, agents and investors @John Hickey

@John Hickey sounds about right. I am new to this all, but my best friend is onto her third property in Newburgh and it seems that her life is quite similar. Chin up! I have a lot of faith in Newburgh. I work in Soho and it's not stop chatter amongst many of the artists, chefs, guests, and everyone else about what is happening in 12550. 

Thanks for this @John Hickey. They look fantastic. How many bedrooms is this apartment? 

@John Hickey Your IKEA kitchen looks amazing. I see that you have properties in Newburgh, NY. Wondering how hard do you go for neighborhoods like Newburgh in terms of kitchens and bathrooms. I have just acquired two multi family homes in the historical district. Both are currently fully rented, but I will be renovating them when the current leases are up, and I am trying to a) figure out renovation expenses b) figure out how much is too much - where the balance is. Any advice is much appreciated.
