Hi @Tim Burke, and welcome to Ithaca! Cornell is a great community to be a part of as well, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Glad to hear you're already getting help from other BP members, and I hope your first transaction works out well. I'll be anxious to hear more about it as you go through the process.

@James Klafehn - sounds like you've got a great start! The Emma's Acres concept is great and I hope it keeps growing for you. Seems like funding can always be a challenge, no matter how big you get. I look forward to hearing more about what you're doing and staying connected via BP!

Hi @Roger Garnett, thanks for reaching out. I agree, BP is a great place to get involved, especially for someone like yourself who is looking to grow their portfolio. I look forward to hearing more about what you've got going on and connecting in the future!

Hey James! Thanks for reaching out. I am not a member of the Tompkins County Landlord Association yet. I'll look into that today. So far in Ithaca we've got a number of duplexes on South Hill and multifamily rentals in both Ithaca and Cornell's student housing area. Our biggest projects are coming up with large developments near both the IC campus and in Cornell's Collegetown. We've got 4 major projects planned for the next 3 years adding more than 200 units - which we're working out the logistics on now. What have you been involved in the area? 

Hi BP members! My name is Sam Clement and I'm a commercial developer from Ithaca, NY. After graduating from Cornell University I got involved in real estate full time and have been working on developing full scale projects at my company, Visum Development. Our market has been extremely generous to us, as it has low vacancy, high income/job growth, and growing demand from both Cornell University and Ithaca College. At this point in time we are poised for growth with a variety of strong development projects in our pipeline and the team in place to execute. Our biggest challenges for the future are with financing (specifically private lenders), and moving to new markets in a few years when we have outlasted the growth potential in Ithaca. Intorduce yourself to me! Reach out! Let's talk - I'm here to learn, share, and improve myself by interacting with all of you!
