[Jaquon Wilson]

My names Jay I'm from Rochester New York and looking to invest in single, multi wholesale and househackin the city and surrounding area. I'd love some insight on the local markets. Thanks!

Last time I checked, Rochester is just as much of a gold mine as Buffalo, NY. IE low entry barrier/emerging market. I am an agent in Buffalo, so I am not familiar with the Rochestor market. I suggest you interview a couple of agents in your area and find one that can provide the most value.

Here are some things to evaluate:

Do they have a portfolio themselves?

Are they impossible to reach? IE do they turn their phones off after 5 pm and do not answer on the weekends?

Do they understand the needs of an investor?
