Thanks guys!
Ali Boone Hey Ali, I would most likely be using a PM at first and then I would maybe consider to transitioning to more of an on call handyman after getting a feel for the tenant but that all depends on the location and property type of course.
Marco Santarelli I know eh :) I do know there are some bad neighborhoods out there but I would definitely get some primary research from the local police desk sergeant on the streets that interest me I think that's the best way to really find out what's happening in the micro market! I also find Trulia crime maps to be a good "first" analysis on the subject.
David Niles Yep the prices are crazy out here! Looks like we might be following in your footsteps with a crash of our own sometime soon or at least a nice dip in prices that's when I'll think about investing here again.
I was in Buffalo the other week just driving the streets to get a feel for some of the neighborhoods and its a great little town I find, the only uncertainty is the job situation. How do you find it?
