@Jon Fletcher thanks! I am not looking to sell right now and I have my license so I usually represent myself on my deals - but always open to meeting new people in the industry if you’d like to pass along their contact!

@Steven G. yes I have a couple properties in Newburgh and a couple in the surrounding towns!

@Steven G. I have not purchased anything in Oneonta. Last time I checked, they were building lots of college sponsored off campus housing in the area. I have invested a few hours south east of there in the Hudson Valley, instead.

@Anthony Roman welcome! I just bought my first property in Newburgh which is right around where you’re looking. My partner and I just started a brokerage specifically geared towards investors. 

I would be happy to meet up sometime and help you with your search! 

I am in the process of joining a new brokerage, Brick and Mortar Realty, in an up and coming area, Newburgh NY. I am trying to see how other brokers and salespeople are marketing their services. Obviously people are advertising on Zillow and Trulia but I'm looking for some more creative ideas. Where have you had the best response rates and ROI? What have you done that is setting you apart from all the noise in your market?

Welcome @Dee Culverson! I have a property in Newburgh. Where are yours? 

I just closed a deal with prime lending about a month ago up in Newburgh. Pretty sure they go down to Westchester too. I found that they could be unorganized at times which was frustrating but overall a good experience. 

@Justin S. thank you. I will definitely be in touch. Looking to pick up another property within 6-9 months 

Well it took a long time but I finally closed on a triplex for my first property! It is located in tHe City of Newburgh NY. In the few weeks that I've been in the area I've met a number of great people investing in the area. Im curious how many other investors are living in their properties within the city of Newburgh? I'm also curious as to which banks people are using locally? Happy Investing!

@Justin S. thank you so much! I spoke with the tax assessor and she told me that as long as the historic exemption hasn't been applied for as of yet, I should still be able to qualify. However I don't want to put all my eggs into that basket and then be screwed down the road. Thanks again for your help!
