I am based out of NYC but I plan to invest in Pennsylvania, or Upstate New York.

The second will be New York which i currently reside.

It's almost always better to stay local, but it's different when you live somewhere like California or New York and are just starting out.

The New York forum might be a reasonable place to start.

Additionally, should I consider tax implications, given New York’s reputation for high taxes?

One of the most experienced fix-and-flip lenders in DFW approved and funded the transaction and is also exposed and anticipating losses.At a hearing with the city Femi makes the following claims:Shows a general contractor bid for $20,000 to fully restore the property.States the foundation is good.The big issues appear to be from code enforcement’s discovery of a full rehab taking place, including electrical work, all without permits.

They're not talking about rent control in the same sense as New York City where it's illegal to raise rent by more than X%. 

Due to the damage done, it is simply not enough for them to stop selling my products,  the world needs to know that WE didn't rip them off, it is THEM that took my products so I can restore my business reputation and not need to somehow prove to my potential customers that we are the creators of that design, our name, our logo and that WE are the real ones before they even consider joining us.That, Trevor, is what I am viciously defending.

There was an article published in the WSJ on January 25th 2001, yes a long time ago, and this was the first paragraph "NEW YORK -- Realtors, already battling Internet companies that have entered the home-selling business, are now organizing to fight a joint proposal of the Federal Reserve and U.S.

The one place that still imo offers a good combo of being nice, being affordable and having a little upside left imo is the eastern shore of Md, I just bought a flip down there (though it’s pretty hard if not impossible to find great value add even there) but it’s affordable, growing (a lot of people coming from dc, New York, Philly area.) but still not really a big enough market that any major operators are out there yet.
