Taxes, repairs and tenants

Upstate New York property tax rates are among the highest in the US as a share of value, and Buffalo's are no exception, so a cheap house can still carry a heavy annual bill. Older homes often need roof, boiler or porch work, and lead paint disclosure is required on pre-1978 properties. If you plan to rent, review local landlord-tenant law, which is more tenant-friendly than in Sunbelt states, and consider a local property manager. Use our valuation tool to benchmark prices and the contact page for introductions.

Buying tips

Low prices attract investors buying multi-family houses, but property tax in upstate New York is high relative to value, and older stock can have costly boiler, roof and lead-paint issues. New York State charges a transfer tax (normally paid by the seller) and mortgage recording tax for borrowers. Foreigners can buy freely; foreign-national loans normally need 30% down. Use the US buying guide, financing guide and mortgage calculator. For New York City comparison, see New York, Brooklyn and the US page.

Buffalo is cheap to buy and expensive to hold: property tax and winter maintenance belong in every yield calculation.
