I grew up in Williamsport and do some investing here. Very slow market for the most part & you can't push rates much. You can get a stable tenant but ROI isn't as good as Rochester.

Rochester is an incredible market.  A lot of people that buy and are not local & think they know best, after all how could zillow let them down, right?  Unfortunately, they don't know best.  They buy garbage properties because they never even opened their eyes to other opportunities.  They work in the cheapest markets which have the most buyers, and spin their tiers trying to steal properties or buying **** they shouldn't.  That is why you'll hear them crying in the forums... Those able to switch to the abundance mindset easily acquire many properties in great areas and the money they have out of pocket rolls back to them enabling them to continue to purchase indefinitely.  You may have to start small, but that doesn't mean you should buy junk.

Cheers,
Mark

You can use a standard Purchase and Sale contract to get it under contract for "Ralphy Rosado or assigns"  from here you can simply assign the contract to an end user with a 1 page document.  Shoot me an email and I'll send both to you.

@Mindy Jensen - Thanks!  There is definitely a huge spike of activity right now.  The new year brings new people that are resolved to do some investing.  So, now is a great time to be super active.  I'm way overdue for a blog post, maybe tonight ;C)

Awesome, I would speculate that you're in more of an appreciation area than cash flow, but I've never studied the market.  We visited San Antonio last year and it was incredible!  I think there are a lot of opportunities in Tx to make money, just not in the same way we do here in ROC.

Happy New Year!
