I purchased a well-maintained single-family home in a growing suburban community.

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.

Keep learning and growing.

We're learning and growing for sure!

Physical asset investing does not grow linearly, you'll get some jabs in the face, maybe a tight slap like an AC stolen or a tenant flooding your bottom floor.

Many investors turn to a private lender to help them keep their enterprise growing.

But it truly does hold a lot of power and can be a great resource to get started and grow your REI journey.
