I spoke with a seller today and they are pretty motivated to sell their rental they have.

Today, the price to purchase the same property would be $85-90k.

I always felt that folks don't maintain and upgrade their homes around there, not just from personal experience, but even when I look at Albany-Schenectady listings today (when I want to get a sense of where the market is, we still wouldn't mind unloading our last SFH!).

Mulberry Square and some other areas) and I've heard some people claim that they think in 10-15 years Allison Hill could be the new gentrified area like midtown is today.

Technology today provides us with so many ways to check assets and to check the people checking for us. 

Granted, we haven't gone through a down cycle since they started this, but I expect that if there is another downturn these houses may have a small advantage in a crowded market.I've been inside some of these units and besides the green features, they are very comfortable - lots of insulation means the temp doesn't swing up and down.

So, if you are going to invest there, I think it best to NOT assume it will continue to boom as it has over the short term, make sure the deal makes sense today, and has some extra "insulation" to cushion you in case it goes bust so that you are not forced to sell or lose the property then.

Today we grabbed dinner together and kinda got on the subject of teams since the vast majority of the office we work at is all on one single team, like 41 agents on the same team under 1 veteran agent.
