New investor in the Hartford area

Hello everybody,
I'm a software engineer with some extra time and money and I recently decided to get myself into the real estate world. I've been reading posts here for quite some time and decided to take the next step in this journey.

I currently live in West Hartford and I'm looking for potential towns to invest in the area, mostly for rentals. From older posts I heard that New Britain and potentially Manchester could be good for cash flow and would like to get some input about that from anyone with more experience in the area. Specifically what areas in those towns should be avoided.

Also, I noticed that there's a meetup group for CT, but they're mainly focusing on the more southern part of CT, which I'm not as interested in, so if anyone knows about a different group for Hartford county, I would love to join and make more connections.

Thank you for your time!

@Shahar Katz welcome to BP! I’m a newbie investor in Hartford county as well. I’ve done a fair amount of market research, I’d say you have your sights on the right areas. I’d also keep an eye on properties in East Hartford, you may find similar cash flow potential to New Britain. In terms of meet ups, @Stephanie Cabral hosts one in Hartford area once a month or so that just started back up again. Feel free to PM me if you like, always looking to connect with local investors. Best of luck!
