I just moved from Ypsilanti back to New York, but it seems like there's a great opportunity there for rentals as well as potential flips.

A year is nothing...especially in New York.

Looking for referrals for a lender in the Rochester New York area - specifically I need someone doing USDA multifamily rehab and/or development.

Using other comps p/sqft that will be similar to your restore is a quick way to ballpark your ARV.  

Currently my dad isnt doing any projects because he oped up a classic car restoration garage(Poor him, I know) so I dont have direct access to an active flip.

I have had a large interest in buying and flipping houses along with restoration of houses for many years now.

I am also in the New York City area.

Is it a crime in New York State to put a stop payment on a check for a security deposit if you change your mind?  

Is anyone here interested in investing in central/western new york state?

This is a question that is asked in some form or other at least twice a month in BP, typically by a new New York-based investor excited by the "low" prices in some of Essex County's more historically neglected and difficult areas (Newark, East Orange, Orange and Irvington).
