We’re drawn to relatively affordable areas that may be more resilient to climate change in the long run (though we know nowhere is immune).Buffalo has caught our attention because of the growing investments in the area, which we think could drive future economic growth.

@Leeling Chew we require anyone over the age of 18 to fill out an application for the property even if they plan to just be an occupant. 

As my parents age, I am assisting in their property management of their primary residence and would love to connect with other real estate investors in the area.

My age is catching up to me after shoveling for 2 hours yesterday.

@Mickey Petersen Like what @Alex Olson said, a 1031 exchange is a great way to diversify and further grow your RE portfolio.

From the architectural wonders of Downtown to the tranquil, family-friendly communities on the outskirts, there’s always something new to explore and learn.The city’s constant evolution means different investment opportunities are always surfacing, whether it's the push for sustainable living or a growing emphasis on smart home technology.

I also have a $50k line of credit I can tap into when needed that will grow as I keep growing the business.Right now my rent is about $1700 where I've been staying for over a year, but really wanting to trade that for a mortgage and start building that equity.

I am looking for a solid real estate agent and eventually will need a home inspector, possible property manager/etc. in regards to the process.I have a few family friends which I am blessed to have mentored me the past few years in this field and I am determined/diligent to learn and grow. 

The property is located in a prime growing area in northern Alabama.

If the numbers don't seem to make sense, consider a cheaper (but still growing market) or just keep saving until you can do out-of-state investing.
