Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment in Buffalo.

Welcome Nicholas, there are quite a few active members from Buffalo here so feel free to reach out to some of us.  

I am looking for recommendations for general contractors in the Buffalo, NY area to oversee mostly cosmetic rehabs.

Hi all, I have a question regarding FHA loan financing.I currently own a duplex in Buffalo, NY (my hometown) that I financed with a conventional mortgage (20% down).

We also post all the spearker videos on youtube, just search "HouseHack Seattle Youtube" to find those and subscribe. 

Feel free to come to the first Gaithersburg meetup at Buffalo Wild Wings in Gaithersburg on Tuesday at 8PM and get to know some people - that's what I plan on doing.

I had thought of the postal carrier, but not much else.

But I will try the postal campaign and see how that works out, thank you again for taking the time to respond to my post, you have a blessed one!  

And by the way us folks in Rochester, Syracuse and Buffalo don't consider you to be upstate!!

Conversely, areas like Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, Milwaukee, etc. might actually see benefits (relative to other parts of the country) as its weather warms a bit and fresh water sources in the US become more scarce.So since I am going to be investing anyways (and already have 2 places in California), I'm thinking maybe to diversify, I could invest in a place that will cash flow now and that 20-30 years out may become far more attractive than it is now and a place that my wife and I and/or our kids can have paid for and ready if it becomes the new more attractive place to live down the road...All that said, does this theory make sense, and more importantly, what city would you recommend as best to invest in (criteria being that its a decent or up and coming place to live in now but could become much more later).
