Are there good cash flowing opportunities in CT?

Connor Parker
Posted

Hi all,

I'm currently looking for my first deal as a buy and hold investment and working out whether to stay local or go out of state. I live in Connecticut and have been looking at Bridgeport as an option, but property prices are on the rise, so wondering if I'd be better going out of state to find something more affordable (and maybe better cash flowing) to reduce the risk if I can't get tenants. Any suggestions would be welcome and would love to Connect with others who are either investing in Connecticut or live in Connecticut and investing out of state...or anyone else that can be bothered to talk to me haha!

Thanks
Connor

    Hey @Connor Parker, nice to see another CT investor posting on the forums. I can't speak to the opportunities you might find out of state, but from what I gather, we're seeing low supply and high demand in just about every market. Competition is high everywhere due to low inventory. I've been investing in CT since 2014 and I've never experienced a sellers market like this. If you're just getting started in REI then I'd recommend using this time to practice your underwriting skills. Look at, and underwrite, as many deals as possible. This way, when a good one comes through you'll be ready to pounce. Investing out of state is challenging enough in a stable market, even for the most experienced investors. Stick to your own backyard, land a deal or two, then maybe look elsewhere. Just my two cents.
