Robert - Most forums have a policy against promoting competing sites -- it is like going into McDonalds and pitching Burger King.

Obviously their target market was basketball and volleyball players who are abnormally tall!

Luckily, the rentals for this particular area are close to 100% occupied because students compete to get into these units.

You have to do what you must do in order to successfully compete.

The urban core areas you are competing more against big funds and companies that are willing to take less margin for a flight to trophy assets or higher quality holdings.

Yes, only bc it was cheaper than residential (where I was at the time) good rent, and tenant cares about my unit pays for everything.Only issue is like my other venting posts, controlled by third partiesTenant needs municipality approval, code, zoning hearing,If in complex with association, by laws non compete etc. like co-op.3.

Some tenants can be trusted to do this, and some can't - so as a general rule (and for consistency's sake), they just assume that nobody will be competent/dependable enough to do this, and the property manager handles it.

Great to see others in my relative area with similar interests.This site is pretty incredible and all the folks here are friendly and competent.

Mike, from what I know about Buffalo, I think one of your biggest concerns, (besides simply learning how to buy and manage rental property) is going to be having competent boots on the ground.

Of course we can't all be CEOs any more than we can be NBA players.
