In Connecticut you really want to stick to C plus to b neighborhoods. Start running calculations on your numbers and you will see some areas which can work. Do you have to say that your analysis of house hacking fails to consider where you become a tenant in one of the units that has additional units that you rent to other occupants? For example, in the town of Manchester there is currently a quadplex for sale on Bissell St. This property is one that I have been considering buying. A 2 bedroom unit in the town of Manchester with parking is currently renting for between $1250 to $1500. This is per unit. Let us assume that you bought the fourplex and lived in one of the four units. You would then be able to rent out the remaining units for $3750 at the minimum up to $4500 at the Maxwell. You could pay for a property manager to manage the property while you are the owner. Please have the type of properties that you need to start looking at. Making some assumptions on this quadplex it would finance approximately $3000 per month including insurance and taxes.

You mind sending me that listing lol ? I am dying to find a quadplex in a nearby neighborhood. You’re right though. I’m a rookie investor and I househacked my first deal and went through the tough times with self managing but it’s the education I feel is necessary for the future deals. Now, if I wanted to find a property management group, my experience with self managing will allow me to make a better choice because I know how I want things done. Don’t knock it till you try it!

Hey Daniel,

Thanks for your response. I do plan on house hacking in the Hartford area. I am looking in the surrounding areas outside the actual city of Hartford. I’m also considering the Hampden County area in Mass as well since my duplex is there. So, hopefully I can find something that my wife and I agree on. Cash flow is a huge deciding factor in the next deal.

Hello Bigger Pockets Community,

I am a rookie investor from Connecticut, Hartford County area. I've been listening to the Rookie Real Estate podcast for the past several months and finally decided that I want to start my real estate journey with the assistance and support of this platform. I currently own a duplex in Massachusetts that I house hacked for 2 years (without even knowing that's what I was doing). My goal is to gain enough knowledge, support, finances, and courage to make that next deal that's conducive to my current financial situation. I haven't been able to find any local meetups and I figured that would be my next step. Any information, advice, suggestions would be welcomed and greatly appreciated. 

Thank you!
