New Investor in Connecticut - Ready to get started

[Rick Santos]

I grew up in Connecticut and lived in the Boston area for the past 6 years. Over the past year or two, I was very interested in real estate investing, however the Boston market did not seem to offer much in terms of cash flow potential. Naturally I looked elsewhere, and found there is a little more opportunity in CT in terms of cash flow. Recently I moved my family back to Connecticut to be closer to my family and am ready to start building my passive income and jump into real estate. I am a financial advisor by profession and don't plan on swinging a hammer or do much in terms of operation, i would rather hire someone that will probably do a better job so i can spend more time with my family.  What I'm looking for are connections/opportunities and recommendations for contractors/handymen and reputable property management company suggestions. I have started doing some research on my own, but feel this would be a good place to start and meet some local investors. My target areas to invest in are in New Britain, Bristol, and Manchester to start off. Also, any meetups on the horizon?

Congratulations and welcome back to CT! A real estate "team" is definitely recommended to make best use of your time and resources. What do you like most about the New Britain, Bristol and Manchester towns to start off with?

I'm not sure if the Central CT meet up is happening this month in Rocky Hill; but the Fairfield meet up will be in January. There may be an unofficial one held if people still want to get together during the holiday months.
