I'm looking at wine region property.  

I have a friend out of PA that sets homes in the tri-state region and I can recommend some manufacturers up your way but need to know more particulars of what you're looking for, as in basic ranch, one story/two story, etc...

Instead, try reaching out to regional insurance adjusters or property claims departments directly.

While cash flow can be limited within the downtown area, there are still excellent opportunities for cash-flowing rentals in surrounding regions.

I'm also interested in purchasing an STR in the Catskills region so I thought I'd jump in! 

I live here and I’m a new investor currently targeting central Nova Scotia region.

That includes the stereotypes, but also people from Eastern Europe as well as the Pacific rim countries too.Most of the people I've met don't get state supplied housing, they rent from private landlords and usually pay in cash.

Real estate's "gross rent multiplier" is Wall Street's "sales to revenue",  "cap rate" is roughly "P/E ratio".When evaluating markets and investments I tend to start with GRM (or lazily the 1% rule), then attempt to return a cap rate based on assumptions about costs, then I work my way to multiple years of projections (assumptions about inflation, amortization, tax benefits, etc), and if I am partnering with one of my smart friends I have to pull up an IRR (internal rate of return).I also look at regional employment levels, median income to rent ratio in the zip code etc. 

.- Books:  We have a mix of books including some local area/regional stuff, some fiction, and kids books.- Kids Toys:  We advertise to families and have another 2xKallax cubes full of toys that won't break and are tolerant of missing pieces, but are easy enough to cleanup:  lincoln logs, blocks, hard animals, stuff like that.   

Credit unions or smaller regional banks might be a better fit.
