I am a teacher from the Buffalo, NY area who recently found a love of all things real estate.

Hello everybody,I am looking to start investing in the near future in Buffalo, New York.

Some more background: I grew up in Western New York (Niagara Falls, Buffalo).

What’s your opinion on the market?

I'm Sol and I am located in the Greater Buffalo Niagara region (WNY). 

We are in New York state, Buffalo/Niagara region. 

in some areas home prices peaked in the 80s and 90s  think Rochester NY for example or Buffalo.. in some areas real estate seems to make new highs then 10 years later it makes new highs again  think SF bay area , at the end of the day building materials are up land prices even being zero  it cost more to build a home than you can buy an existing one in a huge swath of America so until that changes.. who knows.then in the areas that are slowing but surely turning into rental dominated markets  ( we know which ones those are ) those values will really only move if rents move or investor accept a much smaller return that what they want today which is basically 6 to 10% COC with 20 to 30% down.. 

I've quail hunted a couple times near Buffalo just a bit west of  your land.  

I’ve heard Rochester and Buffalo are ideal areas to buy houses that cash flow well.

Good Afternoon bigger pockets,I'm looking for a good contractor referral for a new construction project in buffalo.
