I’ve had a mentor who was happy to share his learnings and experience with me because I genuinely took interest in his opinions and respected his guidance (and I never asked him for money!). 

The condo I expect rent is in a modest community but ceiling fans are a given.  

Hello BiggerPockets community!

Thanks for your time and sharing knowledge.

Networking is always a great practice and you never know who you might meet there and what good information they have to share. 

CA is not STR friendly as evidenced by SB584 and the various communities that have banned/limited STRs. 

STRENGTHS-  strong affordable housing market-  cool city with a great feel-  nicely mixed neighborhoods with properties in need of repair next to nice homes-  large university, robust medical community-  decent rents overall, currently trading at 8-10% cap rates-  Micron promises growthWEAKNESSES-  Micron hype is making people spend way too much on properties-  pesky code compliance inspections here too-  student housing area is incredibly compact and difficult to get in to-  difficult to predict if a property will benefit from renovation or not-  contractors are overwhelmed, difficult to get estimatesSummary: Syracuse is experiencing a lot of change right now, in a good way.

I'm happy to share more about my experience if you'd like, just shoot me a message!

Any insight to the market someone would be willing to share?

I am also happy to link up and share my experience in the new construction space.
