@Khayyam Latif yes, but it's not a super-saturated market like Ithaca, for example, and there will always be students who prefer an actual house over dorms.

welcome to the forum, need more details to give you any input, NYC and surrounding areas are saturated with investors, also prices seen to be on the high side, it's doable, but really need to network hard to find the good deals where you can actually see a profit. be prepared to be in all cash for purchase as most investors are buying all cash no financing.

In these areas, "Extra water" pooling up without surface soil for the water to saturate and be held can cause a problem for yourself and/or neighbors down-grade. 2) In other areas, a certain amount of bare land (grass, soil, etc.) is required to be open to the sky for the appropriate levels of water to seep through and re-charge aquifers. 

The market I'm in is very competitive and extremely saturated.

It is getting somewhat saturated, many properties are sitting vacant. 

Rental demand for houses at $1700+/month also seems like a stretch unless you've got something really unique, because I see a saturation of decent places renting at 1000-1400/mo. 

I cut turf, knock on doors and im able to connect with people.When the market gets saturated it's quality of interactions (handshakes) vs quantity of interactions (mass mailers).  

You mention a specific neighborhood, were you trying to saturate a very specific area with your footprint?

The whole area is saturated and a real sellers market. 

you working a market that is over saturated..
