Hi Mike, welcome to BP and to Rochester. I'm a newbie to RI as well, but pretty excited to get going. I feel like Rochester is an affordable market to get started in and folks here seem very responsive to helping up newbies get up to speed. Best of luck and hope to see you around town.

That listing is not accurate. If you follow the link listed it says the Upper is renting at 550, down for 595.

@Conrad Jackson thank you for the welcome. I’m looking forward to connecting with other investors and learning the ins and outs. If you’re ever in Rochester I’d be interested in meeting up to talk more.

Hi @AlexJones thanks for the nice welcome, and the great advice. That's the one thing that blows my mind is how helpful and willing folks are on here to help me succeed. Definitly keeps me motivated and encouraged. I do have a strong "Why" building a strong community has always been a passioin for me. I will be sure to checkout the local Real Estate events. I feel like a sponge right now and am trying to soak-up all the information I can. I look forward to connecting with you!

Best,

-Shawn

Hey, all I'm Shawn. I'm an Interior Designer in Rochester, NY and a newbie to the world of Realest Investing. I discovered BiggerPockets while attending a seminar by @Matthew Drouin last weekend. This site is incredible and I have already learned a lot already. I have owned propety in the past, just not for investment purposes. My goal is to have my first property in 6 months. I'm interested in house haking a double, and then have my next property within a year. 

I am socially minded and am passionate about gentrification without displacement. I believe there is room for everyone in our community and that providing quality housing that is affordable is important. It's a balance of profit and compassion. This is my why. Yes I want to become rich and wealthy, and I want to do it while helping my city prosper as well.
