Are you in New York?

I am most interested in finding a duplex/triplex to house hack in the Lancaster/York/Harrisburg area that doesn't have to cash flow while I am living there, and has good appreciation potential.

Are you looking for some in New York also?

New York State laws pose some particular challenges for landlords, but Albany and Rochester specifically are the 2 cities (outside of NYC) that I would say are #1 and #2 for being the most challenging based on their early adoption of "Good Cause Eviction", their building depts, and their general anti-landlord stance. 

We are seeking quotes for the repairs but the insurance company is not giving us any option.our insurance broker says that a lot of insurance companies are refusing to insure properties in upstate New York.

I am an investor in Western New York.

Endicott, New York, located in the heart of the Southern Tier, is a village with deep industrial roots and a renewed focus on economic development.

New York can be a good state for investing, however, it does pose its challenges with state laws requiring disclosures and being a little more tenant friendly.

The city to “avoid” investing in was of course New York.
