still pretty green
hey every one on BP I'm back. since the last time i posted, i've been to 4 REI meet ups in various areas on CT. going to my 5th this Saturday. seen a few recurring faces at a couple of them. I'm still absorbing info at a steady pace while trying too build a network. haven't come across any deals that work for me yet but I have been sent a few from a couple people i've met so far. i'm still open to any one that can send me deals in the CT area. i dont have any specific market singled out, but my budget will pull towards then lower classed markets, which I'm fine with. thanks in advance.

With 150k, it' going to be tough. I did a search for multi-families for you. You have maybe one in Waterbury and one Bridgeport off Barnum. The BP one is a little bit more.

I used to be around that area a decade ago. I'd say house hack, be in one unit, rent the others for the best rates. Then, after a year, move and repeat. However, these areas aren't for the faint of heart.
