Seems to me that you just wanted to open this thread to get people to agree with you, not have an actual discussion.

I will definitely ask you questions! I've never been to Rochester, so I need to take a trip. I need to find some good, working class neighborhoods with moderate to low crime. Is that a tall order?

It definitely is a beautiful place. :) I love the area. 

Sine you're a NY agent, do you know anything about Rochester and Albany or Buffalo? I have to make trips to get a feel for neighborhoods, but I am still in the saving money stage. Not quite ready yet, but still looking! 

Kingston is--as I've seen--probably the most expensive out of them all except for some Philly neighborhoods I am looking in. I threw it in there because I know it is actively gentrifying as we speak.

Harrisburg has GREAT prices but I've heard it's very unsafe. I might cross it off the list. 

What about the other places? Are Albany and Rochester safe bets?

I'm saving up because I'm looking to purchase $30,000 (possibly $40,000) and under properties. Unfortunately I am from NYC where you can't even buy a hovel for that price...

So I'm looking in Albany, Buffalo, Syracuse, Rochester, Kingston and in PA at Harrisburg and Philadelphia. Are those areas realistic? Ideally, I'd even love to buy a multi-unit in that price range.
