So, I think you have a risk factor in upstate New York that you don't get in most other areas (it's not where most people would choose to live).I think upstate New York one of the few areas in the country you can cash flow in B areas with 80% downpayment, so that's nice--in terms of deals, I think the numbers still work out at market prices.Finally, the property taxes are very high in upstate New York. 

Is my enthusiasm wrongly-placed, or can this work out?

Coordinating the sale of multiple properties and have the timing all work out all takes skill. 

I recall reading about it in CNBC...The quest for solid returns in our current market might feel daunting with interest rates where they are, but the good news is.. if you find the right deal and set clear criteria.. like a minimum cash flow target, or a plan for eventual refinancing.. your numbers can still work out.

Welcome Ama,I know it will all work out for you.

Hi everyone,I graduated college a few months ago in Boston and tried to start my own business but it didn't workout and so I focused on Real Estate instead and passed my NV License.

I would send out mailers, and cold call if you're up for it to all the 2-4 unit homes in the area until you get one, and then work out a deal with them.  

Going with the cheapest options usually doesn't work out the way you figure.

If we can work out a deal with a number of builders to keep their properties moving than we can also ask this builder to give some incentives to the investor. 

you can build triplexes in columbus for cheaper. if it was more about you living in Grandview could work out but that's a tough exit one unit won't even get 0.5% rule.
