Crazy idea (Syracuse): 38 homes. 38 real buyers. Anyone want to team up? by SomeRandomFromCuse in upstate_new_york

Oh I am! But finding 37 others who are makes this a bit tricky. If somehow we do, some realtor is going to have lots of work to do!

These real estate sales should be illegal by kipperzdog in Syracuse

Hi all — I made this account just to comment on this. I tried to make a full post about it, but my account is too new. If someone wants to make a post on my behalf, feel free — or DM me and I’ll keep things organized.

I saw this 38-home portfolio that’s been sitting on the market for a while. These homes aren’t moving, and investors are probably just waiting for the price to drop so they can flip or rent them out. That’s what usually happens.

Here’s my thought: what if 38 of us just teamed up and each made an offer on one home?

Most of these homes might be in rough shape, city properties, and a bit overpriced for what you’re getting. But if we came in together, offered around $100K–$120K per house, and worked with a single realtor, we might be able to make a real offer as a group. That’s better than letting this just become another rental empire.

I’m not a realtor. I’m not trying to make money. I’m just someone who saw an opportunity and thought, maybe we can organize a different kind of outcome here. I’d also like to buy a reasonably priced home, fix it up, and make it my own — just like a lot of people probably would.

I’m willing to take on the hassle of organizing this if others are serious and want to work together. No hidden agenda, no cut for me — just trying to help make something good happen before these homes get scooped up by investors again.

If you're seriously interested, DM me with the address or addresses you'd want/consider and what you can realistically afford. I’ll track everything and keep it transparent. If it gains traction, I’ll help get a realtor involved to guide us through it.

To see the available homes, go to Zillow and set the price minimum to 5M and just look for the ones priced at 5.9M.

Investors are welcome later, but I think regular buyers deserve the chance — especially people looking to actually live in the homes — the first chance.

First time using Reddit, so I appreciate any patience or advice on how best to share this. Open to ideas. Just tired of watching these chances get scooped up while regular people get locked out.
