Two apartments, both located @ 26 Huntington Ave in Buffalo. Both include gas, electric, water, gas in a FiOS enabled house. 2 BR / 1 Bath w/ Off Street - $1,200/mo: [http://buffalo.craigslist.org/apa/5499804320.html](http://buffalo.craigslist.org/apa/5499804320.html) - see the ad for more specs. Additionally, there’s another 2 BR / 1 Bath without off street parking available which I will have pictures for in the near future. That one’s $1,000/mo and still includes utilities, etc. ---

Cool area and you can walk to Dr. Bird :tup: Added bonus that you’ll be able to hear @newman cruise by on a regular basis. @91MR2 and I were just talking rent prices yesterday. I think there are quite a few landlords on here now. ---

For sure. Rents have skyrocketed - my ask is pretty high but the apartments are quite nice, plus include utilities. It’s nuts to see the Elmwood Village rents lately in comparison. > [@Onyx Z32](#): > > Cool area and you can walk to Dr. Bird :tup: > > Added bonus that you’ll be able to hear @**[newman](http://www.nyspeed.com/member.php?u=12)** cruise by on a regular basis. > > @**[91MR2](http://www.nyspeed.com/member.php?u=185)** and I were just talking rent prices yesterday.

It’s been available on that side of parkside for a long time. I used to live on huntington, off street parking was never an issue either. ---

Saw a thread in the homes forum about [cozy.co](http://cozy.co), got myself signed up. Thanks for the info! Got interest on the the cheaper 2br thus far without even advertising it, but the more expensive 2br is still open and available. Probably the worst time of the year + month to list an apartment (mid to late month, still cold outside), plus I think people in Buffalo are still getting sticker shock on rent prices. We’ll see! > [@Onyx Z32](#): > > Oh I wasn’t implying that it’s high, I’m actually higher, lol.

IMO yours is a little nicer even and I don’t include electric/gas. Good info! Thanks! Hopefully I can get some more interest on the more expensive unit at the start of the month. It’s a good investment either way even if I get slightly less than my ask price - especially compared to the stock market, etc - but I think the ask is fair market rate. ---

Got the other one listed @ [http://buffalo.craigslist.org/apa/5515549345.html](http://buffalo.craigslist.org/apa/5515549345.html) It’s a little shittier, but cheaper and thus tons of interest thus far. Tossing it out there if anyone is interested. ---

Just wondering, why do you include gas and electric. I feel like people will abuse the hell out of them if they “think its free” @Josh ---

> [@rugsr](#): > > Just wondering, why do you include gas and electric. I feel like people will abuse the hell out of them if they “think its free” @**[Josh](http://www.nyspeed.com/member.php?u=3464)** House was formerly a single family that was properly/legally converted to a 3 unit so there is a single gas meter/electric panel. That said, the heat is controlled by a locked thermostat that can be set only by me. The electric is another story, but if you build the expectation of the expense into the rent, it’s fine in my opinion. If the electric bills go up to the point where I am not profiting at the level I should be profiting, the rent can always be adjusted accordingly going forward. ---

I feel like people will abuse the hell out of them if they “think its free” @**[Josh](http://www.nyspeed.com/member.php?u=3464)** While important to be “aware” of what people might do, be careful to not always assume the worst in them - especially when they are paying upwards of $1,000+/month in rent… I will say this with caution, as bad tenants come in all shapes and sizes…however, “typically” when people are paying those kinds of rents, you get tenants that are more aware and respectful of their environment…they are paying a “premium” rent at will, so odds are they are not going to jack the heat up and then laugh like a Bond villain in the background… Again, this is not always the case, but has been my experience over the last few years of getting into this business… Edit: Also, Josh, keep us posted on the progress here - for fellow landlords on the site, this helps give a better understanding of the current market rates… ---
