My wife and I are new to this community, and we are currently considering properties in Saratoga Springs New York for living / investment purposes.

I am in Florida now and I've been here for the last 12 years since I retired in New York City. 

As far as appreciation goes, I'm seeing the highest appreciations happening in more expensive markets like New York, Los Angeles, and others.

Navigating STR regulations can be challenging, and I'm considering potential locations in Vermont, Rhode Island, and upstate New York, specifically around Syracuse or the Jay area.

HI, 
I'm an investor looking to connect with more investor 

We'll restore the riparian zone and install year-round water for wildlife (deer, elk, bear, wolves, and more).

I can't make this property easy to get to, but I can steer the habitat restoration with creativity, patience, and sweat equity.

We have some but they are good for New York, and other states back east.

I live in the New Jersey New York area and prices continue to climb and they do not look like they are falling any time soon.

@Kevin SalameaKind of a boring answer that I give all the time, but you can loosely sort Pennsylvania markets into the following categories:      - Philly/Pittsburgh       - Allentown/Lehigh Valley Area     - Harrisburg, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Lancaster, York/Hanover, and Reading     - Everything elseNot surprisingly, they match the metropolitan statistical areas in Pennsylvania (link).
