In this episode, Don and I start with a quick update on new developments we mentioned in our last discussion. We then explore Grow-NY, a major annual competition fueling innovation in agriculture with $3 million in prize money — including $1 million for the top winner. This initiative plays a big role in supporting our community, economy, and agricultural growth.

Finally, Don and I introduce the first part of a new mini-series designed for both new and experienced investors looking to acquire multifamily properties. In this section, we cover the early stages of preparation — the essential steps you’ll need before moving forward with your next real estate investment.

In this episode of FM Realty Report, Don and Roman dive into the world of historic preservation—both nationally and right here in Syracuse. We explore why preserving history matters, the financial benefits of being part of a designated historic district, and how residents can take advantage when their neighborhoods are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

We also highlight some of Syracuse’s most notable historic landmarks and discuss how modern manufacturers are producing innovative composite materials that look authentic and can often meet preservation standards.

Whether you’re a homeowner, investor, or simply someone who values the character of historic communities, this conversation offers practical insights and inspiration for keeping history alive while planning for the future.
