Thinking about buying a investment property in olean ny. A college rental is possible. Does olean offer a good market for a newbie?

The housing development of condo type in my city has been increasing in the last few years.

I found one called ( Rainbow Knolls) old subdivision platted in the 20s but because it was under one common ownership  ( 104 lots) assessor on the assessors plat map showed it as a 15 acre tract.. we made an offer like it was one building lot.. then we got our HML to put 104 individual loans on each lot to the tune of 3k per lot we used that 300k to build all the roads and infrastructure.. we recorded each loan individually which caused the assessor to reestablish the plat. without having to go through the platting and land use .. planners did not like it I can tell you.. but now a days out west this is quite common and there are easier ways to do this.. in Oregon for instance they call it a lot confirmation.. there are all sorts of shadow lots lying underneath lots in the city.. takes 60 days and a few hundred bucks and a current survey and you can split lots as long as there is a shadow plat that was recorded back around the turn of the century. 

The cities hate them here and will set you up, find you, and fine you.

Real estate values rarely decline uniformly across a city.

., with respect, New York State has a Unified Judicial system site:  https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/webcivilLocalL/T cases are always available and can be searched by plaintiff or defendant, searchable by county and other criteria. 

Hello,I'm seeking a mortgage on a property that was purchased in a recent sheriff sale, property located in Union City, NJ.I've been assured that that are local banks that will underwrite mortgages even on the basis of an external appraisal (can't get an internal one because I can't get in the property yet).Any ideas on which these "local banks" may be?

Quick questions to those that know Bergen Lafayette / Greenville Jersey City real estate and developments well.

In order to do this I would need the city to demolish two structures that are abandoned and condemned.

I always end the phone call or conversation saying that I 200% believe they should take the time and money to fly out here and see the neighborhoods and city for themselves.
