My wife and I are both native Upstate New Yorkers now living outside Boston but you definitely have piqued my interest in exploring vacation rentals in the Adirondack or perhaps the Berkshires.

WELCOME TO BPSince you are no stranger to investing welcome to the social media home of real estate investing..lolI am a fellow New Yorker now here in Newport News, VA.

My biggest suggestions would be 1) Read - any and all REI, budgeting, rehab, etc. books/blogs/articles/magazines/etc. you can get your hands on.

You'll find plenty of mobile home parks in our neck of the woods:)If you want to start doing some market research for multi-units and mobiles (which is a good learning activity to start with), I'd suggest becoming a customer, i.e. a renter, and shop for rentals in Greenville.Look on Craigslist, shopper magazines, websites, etc to see what's out there.

Awesome people and awesome Website, Any New Yorkers would be happy to connect with you ...

As a New Yorker (former), I'm a huge fan of NYU -- I love it down in that part of the city.

Hi my fellow New Yorker!

rejection in many forms is SOP for door knocking  direct mail any type of advertising really.My first job way back when was selling Fuller Brush door to door.. much like being on a Mormom missions or a Witness coming to your door.. or selling magazines.. etc.good advise above.. when you knock on the door ALWAYS step back.. and down a step if there is one.. 

@Sergio Rodriguez Fortune Magazine actually said the Dallas/Fort Worth market is the top market in the country for investors in 2017.
