Advice about Rochester Team? Finding realtors?

Question

Hi, I grew up in Rochester and my family is still in the area, so I'd love to begin investing. I have some familiarity with the neighborhoods, but I know a lot has changed. I wonder if any of you have recommendations for realtors or realty groups that work with out of town investors? Thanks so much!

Rochester is an incredible market!  I work with a lot of out of towners and would be happy to assist.  We’re targeting some specific locations this season for sure!

I've lived in ROC 25 years, and just started investing in rental prop here last year.......should have started ~8 years ago.  Prices now are quite inflated here too (double what they used to be 10 years ago)........just waiting for the bubble to burst....will it?  Who knows!

Questions to ponder.  Would you be targeting single family homes, multi-family?  What's your target market (professionals, students, white-collar, blue-collar), purchase price range?  Based on this, there are areas of ROC you should target or avoid.

Regarding realtors, I have found it best to keep an eye out myself and then work with my realtor to draft the deal.

Good luck, cheers!

@Matthew Drouin I live in Reno, NV, where everything is very inflated by CA investors, so it's a much harder market to get into as a new investor. Also, I have a lot of family in Rochester, NY and we visit the area with some frequency.

@Katherine Fusco any reason why you are choosing Rochester?  Have you ruled out your own area?  If so, why?
