I have several properties in one of the cities in New York you mentioned and on a house that is assessed at 65k the yearly property tax is $3000.Now compare that too Colorado where a $125,000 house yearly taxes are $800.I much rather own in Colorado.

Hi Guys, I'm from Ontario canada and I'll be closing on a property in New York in the next few weeks.

Hi Sherman Arnowitz,I live in New York and would like to get into the notes business, currently looking to buy performing notes, do you have any suggestions that would help me with that, thank you

I look at the following data: Core Logic data for Las Vegas, LA, San Francisco, San Jose, New York. 

Recently I have begun to look into York. 

New York is a big state, there have to be other markets within driving distance that work better.  

Although a bank or insurance company would fit nicely into Berkshire’s existing platform, Canada does have restrictions on foreign ownership of those assets – so my bet would be either an energy or utility-oriented opportunity (plenty of them in Alberta) or perhaps a significant stake in Alimentation Couche-Tard, which owns the Circle K brand and has a significant global presence, potentially meshing nicely with Berkshire’s recent purchase of Pilot Flying J.This year, I had the pleasure of travelling to Omaha with some friends from New York University’s Real Estate Development program and got to catch up with old friends from all over the world.Alas, my favorite Buffett-ism from the meeting was "Understand that the market is there to serve you, not instruct you".

New York, I believe, sued several large mortgage services over this "force placed insurance". 

Don't miss The BiggerPockets Podcast - they are great for learning how others are finding success.Oh - and be sure to set up some Keyword Alerts- especially for "York" so you'll be notified when people mention it here in the forums.Thanks again for introducing yourself!
