Syracuse is tough in the city.

Fellow Syracuse investors, how is the market treating you?

I have been an investor in Syracuse since 2004.

@Hector Serna If it is a short sale and you are only putting 5% down, that's an owner occupant loan, chief.

Happy Superbowl Sunday, Go Chiefs!

All we can do, as a provider, is to try to postpone those costs as long as possible.As for our returns, Rob is correct again - we look at equity because that's one of the chief benefits of buy and hold turnkey rentals - your tenants buy you 75-80% of a house!

My chief aim is to actively engage in the markets acquiring at minimum 2-3 properties per year and build a robust portfolio.

I'm purchasing my first SF in Syracuse and plan on house hacking it.

Specifically the chief Gary park neighborhood.

Just looking at Syracuse as an option for expanding my portfolio and trying to get a better idea of the market.
