Real Estate Investment is a Business

Being a successful Real Estate investor in WNY (or anywhere for that matter) takes a lot of hard work.  You cannot achieve it by just showing up, with little money or effort.

I got a call from a potential WNY investor the other day from Texas.  They heard from a friend of a friend that they could make buckets of money investing in rental property in the city of Buffalo by the college.   They wanted to purchase a $10,000 home that nets them $500 a month after expenses.   They wanted me to provide them detailed analysis on all the homes available.   I get calls all the time from people with hopes of making lots of money with little effort or financial investment on their part.
