There are plenty of great resources at your finger tips, the problem you'll run into is quieting the noise.

Hi, I am investing in the Buffalo area and I am looking at a waterfront properties in the finger lakes.

Fingers crossed!   

After I win the property, I get my attorney to do a title search for $250 and keep my fingers crossed nothing shows up.

Finger printed, background check.

And with any asset there is risk...But the fed has explicitly said they're willing to print until their fingers bleed to put money in peoples hands lol.

Oh yes, I'm entirely aware that I can't lay a finger on the property to do any improvements.

I am crossing my fingers tightly that they renew the weekly rentals. 

so FINGERS crossed  TOES crossed  EYES crossed we get to the other side.. rates are suppose to be very low next few years.. so should be OK and at our price point buyers have the cash to put down 

We've self-managed from the start and only recently hired a part-time 1099 employee, someone who used to work for my wife in a former different field, who we're teaching the business and who will eventually, fingers crossed, be our property manager.
