So you want to be an Albany NY Real Estate Investor

As a broker I often get calls from new investors ready to buy their first income property. Most are sure real estate is an easy road to riches. I do my best to remind them real estate is a business and buying income property is not like buying a CD or Annuity that you put in your drawer. Boilers break, tenants don't pay rent, and property taxes always go up! Much of my time this year has been spent helping investors "unwind" their positions in real estate that they purchased at the wrong price and for the wrong reasons with other agents. Today I received an email from a full time investor of mine that highlighted his business for 2007. While this was done tongue in cheek I think I am going to use it going forward to help my new guys understand the business a little better!

"Low-lights from 2007 include: former employees stealing thousands of dollars from my laundromat,
multiple appearances in court to try to get tenants to pay rent, a $6,200 water bill for a building with 2
leaky toilets; losing the appeal to the water board for a $6,200 water bill. Being eating up and spit out
at neighborhood meetings for proposing to buy and renovate an abandoned apartment building. Seeing the
city nearly double my school taxes. Nearly getting into a fight outside court with a former tenant after
he threatened my wife. Having a tenant call codes on me when I refused to scrape and re-paint their 3 month
old son's bedroom. Collecting a total of $500 in garbage fines on properties where I have private pick
up."

Hopefully this sheds some light on the business!
