Could be some low hanging fruit.Another LHF (low hanging fruit)... saw a listing today that has days on market of 880.

Glad you're back in the game and I hope it proves a fruitful decision for you.

You aren't crazy, its a lot of squeeze for not a lot of juice if you are after cash flow.

The major neighborhoods off the top of my head are Black Rock, Riverside, West Side, North Buffalo, University Heights, Kensington, LoveJoy, Kiasertown, South Buffalo, First Ward, Downtown, Allentown, Elmwood Strip, Delaware, and the Fruit Belt.

I like to start with the low hanging fruit!

But still, you need credibility and having actually gotten past the county commission vote to amend the zoning, give you the permits will show you might have the juice to get this difficult task done. 

Great Job James,        Hope you have it going in a month's time and all the work/effort is fruitful. oAwesome X'mas deal for yourself.

However unlike Greater Boston you don't have to absorb 5-10 years of breaking even or feeding the gator to start to see the fruits of the labor.

Lower hanging fruit elsewhere.

It looks like low hanging fruit as there are many baby boomers who are unloading their nests in favor of downsizing, but they probably don't have motivation to do so with any method other than retail.
