I use Steve Pheterson...I've been very happy with him.

This isn't completely accurate in my opinion. Look at it this way: You invest 10K into a property worth 100K. After 30 years, you have the full value of 100K debt free. The annual return actually works out to be around 8.1% in this example. You have to figure that you would keep your annual gains invested in any other investment as well. 

For example, if you bought stock worth 10K & had an 8.1% return in a year, you would have stock worth $10,810. Then the following year you had the same return of 8.1%...your FMV of your stock would be worth $11,686....and so on. After 30 years, if you averaged 8.1% annually, your stock would be worth $100K after 30 years.

The taxes are much higher in the suburbs of Rochester. The taxes in Pittsford are really high. Have you considered looking in some of the up-and-coming areas in the city? The lower property taxes make it much easier to cash flow. 

My firm and I would be more than happy to help you. We have numerous real estate clients and are very knowledgeable in the industry. We are right in Victor as well. 

I used Steve Pheterson and was very pleased. Very knowledgeable and a nice guy.

 Thanks, Chris. I will keep them in mind for next time.

Does anyone know of a good, fair priced carpet contractor in Rochester, NY?

It's already partially ripped up...which is what worries me. If this wasn't the case, I would probably just lay a new floor over it as well. I have to look into the legality of DIY, but to be honest, I'm not sure I want any part of that.

I'm looking for a rough estimate on the cost to removal asbestos 9x9 tile in Rochester, NY. The space in need or removal is about 400 SF. Any ideas?
