That does help my sanity a bit haha and more research will be done on the next one.

From my research Poughkeepsie looks like an area on the rise. 

Thanks for all the advice, I'll definitely have to research more as I go about how to build out my portfolio and whether I want to pay down the existing loans or buy more.

One thing I think I would do is either hire a professional market research company and/or get a local high school or college marketing class to do market research and surveys to see if there is interest and demand. 

So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

Research shows that the more experienced home buyers have a longer and generally more specific list of demands than first-time home buyers.If our buyer does not have a home tour checklist, I give them a version that I have used for years (I did not create it, another investor shared it with me and I have used it). 

Researching... any recent experiences with Dominion?   

I will say that some of the listing prices and projected rents seem high when comparing against my own research.

Since your post is a bit older, I stumbled upon it while researching strategies for navigating 1031 exchanges in this tricky high-interest-rate market.

Good luck- shoot me an IM if you'd like more info on my process..a little bit of background research and some phone calls can make your sq' price swing back a lot.
