Buffalo ny and lots of Ohio come to mind.If I get a chance I'll go by the house today and check it out 

My friend and I are newbies and are looking for a live-in 2-4 unit multi-family in Buffalo, NY.

I'm originally from the Buffalo area but now live near Seattle. 

After trying to establish a real estate auction presence in Buffalo, I am redesigning my company to include traditional brokerage services, auction services and wholesale services.

OH, VA, and PA might be best for insurance.Places were I see growth:Nashville, Miami, Detroit (Royal Oak and Dearborn), Baltimore, Bridgeport, Raleigh, Buffalo, Montgomery, Charleston

My agents know what hard money is, but apparently no one else here in Buffalo, NY knows what to do with it.We write our offers by checking the box for "New mortgage" and write in "hard money/investment loan" and can close in 30 days, so its looked at technically "same as cash" but so far it hasn't netted me any REOs thus far.

We don't have a Floor & Decor store here in Buffalo, but we have Home Depot for sure and Lumber Liquidators which has some similar products.

Has anyone actually purchased a property subject-to the loan balance in Buffalo, NY or New York State?

@MikeSherwood if your still in Buffalo and @TomSylvester if your still in Rochester. 

Our business began with a focus on flipping properties in the Buffalo, NY area.
