Newburgh NY expected rents

[Michael Robinson]

Hello to all and anyone who is savvy about rentals in Newburgh NY.  I've purchased some properties from the city, not the hot part but a nice street right below Mount Saint Mary's, just a half block above where everyone is meeting this Friday at Blacc Vanilla.  The apartments I'm planning would be 750 square feet 2 bedrooms (small bedrooms) and brand new since the place is a total gut.   I think the person that turned me on to Newburgh originally misguided me and told me I could get $1200/month.....Now that I've been checking around it seems that MAYBE that would be true right on Liberty Street, but not up where I am.  I'm trying to reorient myself now, and I'm thankful for any guidance or knowledge you all might have about my neighborhood , a block from the park and a block from the college, and how much I can expect for rentals.

I've been in Newburgh for 3 years & have three completely full buildings. I have a roomy 2 bedroom I just rented last week on Carter St for $1100 (1 block from the hospital, 1 block from Downing Park) no problem lots of interest. Look on Craigslist to price your apartment, no one I know around here looks on Zillow or Trulia for rentals.  I would probably price your small, new, 2 bedrooms for $1000.
