Looking to Invest in CT market

[Jared Maches]

Hello everyone on the Bigger Pockets website! My name is Jared Maches and I am a newbie investor. I am currently going through the market to figure out where to start my investment portfolio. I want to invest in Buy and Hold to start off with, but preferably I want to stay away from fixer uppers because I would be a new investor and I could undervalue my construction and it could really bite me. Connecticut is not a super cheap market by any means, but I feel like people are moving into our cities more. For example, in my area Torrington, Connecticut is seeing an upwards trend right now of about 4-5% home increase over time. Now the thing is, there are a lot of off market deals that happen and it's hard to find the right ones. Any areas you fellow CT investors are liking? Please share below I look forward to your answers!
