Perhaps I should put my money elsewhere...I know mid-western cities and college towns had some great rental occupancy last year.

I understand the capital region, the Adirondack region, and Western New York (Rochester and Buffalo) have their strengths and weaknesses, but I'm going to focus on this central part of the state.Binghamton is my favorite investment market for a few reasons, but it's not for everyone.STRENGTHS-  low prices-  blue collar overall, meaning lots of resources for contractors-  growing university, consistently growing rents-  I expect to see an actual 10% cap rate here, higher if the property needs work-  compared to downstate, permitting, evictions, etc. are simple and quick-  no code compliance inspections required on existing multifamiliesWEAKNESSES-  no. natural. appreciation.

Hey all looking to do a subto deal in Western Suburbs of Chicago’s. 

I work with New Western in Pittsburgh, and we have an office in KC that you should get in touch with.

Would love to connect there are some great deals in western Pennsylvania.

North Georgia, Western NC, eastern TN, even possibly southwest VA and a part of West VA. 

You might be on the wrong side of your territory as they work the eastern Rochester suburbs to the western Syracuse suburbs.

@Jay Hinrichs, the bidding service you mentioned sounds exactly like what Heaton Dainard, Caliber and Vestus are doing in western WA.They drive the properties going up for auction that week, eyeball rehab, verify comps, bid for clients.

Here's another plug for western NC: appreciation.

I would consider Western Wayne County (suburbs of Detroit).
