Hi Sameer,Nice to meet you, I'm also a REI, and looking to invest in upstate NY as well! 

property in Brooklyn, NY, a 5-unit multifamily building, which would fall under a commercial loan (which I've done intentionally).Aiming for 900k purchase price 720k in financing. 

I live in New York City but have been recently made aware of Rochester NY as a place where SFH and MFHs can be purchased sub-50k and command rents usually in excess of 2% per month of the asking price.My question is, are there anythings about Rochester you feel are worth while knowing about before more seriously considering investing there?

We have other diversified RE investments in NY as well as NC that are not HOA affiliated.  

You need to know who is sharing a roof with you.Payne - I'm happy to connect with you if you have specific questions about your situation in Upstate NY as well as processes/systems to put in place as you begin your career as a landlord.
