New York Investors, Looking to Connect

Lender · Washington DC · Member since 2026 · 84 posts · 23 votes

I’m actively looking to invest in real estate in New York and would love to connect with investors, property owners, agents, and wholesalers who are working on opportunities in the area. I’m open to hearing about different types of properties, including:
• Multifamily
• Mixed-use
• Value-add opportunities
• Off-market properties
• Properties that may need a creative exit or investment strategy

If you have a property you’re considering selling, a deal you’re currently working on, or you simply know of an opportunity worth looking at, feel free to comment below or send me a message. I’m always interested in building genuine relationships with people active in the New York market. What areas of New York are you seeing the best opportunities right now?

@LaTarence Dunbar mixed-use is close to my heart. My first major rental was a 5-unit mixed-use building a few blocks from where I lived. On mixed-use, I'd look hard at the commercial lease, since that tenant can be a big part of the income and that space can take a while to re-fill. For off-market, the best deals come from talking directly with owners, and that takes time in one market. I'd pick a city or two in NY and build relationships there before casting a wide net. Always good connecting with other investors.

Hey Latarence! I'm on Long Island, I invest all over but I regularly get exclusive access to deals on Long Island the Burroughs and down state. How are you looking to purchase? Cash, hard money, banked? Thinking hold, flip?

New York is almost too broad to treat as one market. Downstate and Rochester/Buffalo/Syracuse can be completely different businesses.

I’m in Rochester and have invested, brokered and managed property here for a long time. Small multifamily and mixed-use can still make sense, but the opportunity changes block by block and management quality matters more than a lot of out-of-area buyers expect.

If Western NY is in your scope, I’d tighten the buy box first: asset type, price/equity check, stabilized versus value-add, hold period and target return.

Once those are defined, it gets pretty easy to tell whether Rochester is actually a fit or just looks inexpensive on paper.

The opportunity in New York usually isn’t “where is the hot area?” as much as where is the mismatch between the asset, the owner, and the capital structure.

I’d look hardest at situations where the property is fundamentally sound but the current ownership has a problem: maturity pressure, inherited management issues, deferred capex, partnership fatigue, under-market rents, or an asset that no longer fits their portfolio.

That’s where off-market and creative structures start becoming more useful than simply chasing listed cap rates.

LaTarence, if you’re actively building your network and deal flow there, reach out. I’d be interested in comparing what you’re seeing with what we’re mapping on our side.

LaTarence, I’m in New York as well and I like the way you’re approaching this by building relationships around the deals, not just chasing individual properties. I work on the business funding side and help investors access capital through business lines of credit, 0% APR business credit cards, business loans, SBA options, and revenue-based funding. For value-add or off-market opportunities, having additional capital available can make it a lot easier to move quickly when the numbers make sense. I’d definitely be open to connecting and seeing how we may be able to help each other.
