Tips: Investing in Hamden, Connecticut

[Marc Knapp]

Hello Wonderful Bigger Pockets Community!

Marc and Ana-Maria here. We are real estate investors looking to invest in Hamden, Connecticut. We currently have 3 properties in Guilford, CT (one rental, one residential lot, one raw land) but are seeking to invest in multi-family homes in Hamden, CT. We have analyzed over 20 properties in the area and many of them cash flow well. We wanted to turn to the BP Community for general advice and perspective on the area, particularly local trends and possible challenges to investing in Hamden. 

We also have very specific questions we are hoping that the BP community may be able to chip in and advise on:

• What is a recommended local title company to work with?
• Recommendations for local handymen?
• Personal experiences with tenants in the area?
• Typical vacancy rate we can expect?
• Job growth trends?
• Are professional tenants a problem in Hamden?
• We are currently subscribed to Hartford Business - are there other better resources to use for economic growth insight on the area?

Thank YOU for being here, first and foremost; for sharing your knowledge, experience and expertise and for entertaining these questions.
