hi @Asa Akuley-Strambler - Come to the next meeting and chat with everyone!  Tons of people with opinions on what you should do :) 

I've attended several BP meetups around CT, and am a regular at the Wallingford one. I've also went to some CTREIA stuff. 

BP, hands down, is a way better experience for networking. 

13 years? Wow you should throw these people a bone.  

You're worrying about a new tub? Get some pictures. If it's a bad tub, then just get a new one.

Don't get professional paint job done while they are still living in there - who knows how the paint will hold up by the time they do move out. Buy the people some cheap paint and let them paint some walls if they want - they will feel so much better, have more pride in the place, and want to stay longer. If you're going to refurb the place when they move out, the tenants doing a meh job at painting some walls is not going to really slow you down. 

Nice!! Can't wait to see everyone!

Ray Harrell you think it’s going to be easy to evict someone with an 18 month old because the kid is loud? Good luck. I would encourage the tenants to try and resolve it themselves. Additionally, I would look into if there’s ways to mitigate Noise in the future, lest you are going to limit tenant pool to people with no kids.

Love to see everyone make it!  Lots of great connections over the last few months. 

Really excited for this one! 

Moving it to Chilis was a clutch decision! 

Due to capital restrictions, I would look into House Hacking. Find a good multi-family deal in New Britain, and Owner Occupied can get some good rates. That will allow you to learn the ropes of land lording and building maintenance, while cutting out a huge expense - the rent you pay. 

I also encourage you to look into the BP meet ups in the area. I know theres a small group in Cheshire that I go to. I think theres another in Rocky Hill, one in Manchester, another in New Haven, and a larger one in Fairfield. Networking at those events seemed to really help more than going to workshops at REIA events.

Hi @Seth Maynard - Welcome to the party! Check out the Wallingford Meetup if you want to meet some Cheshire BP folks.
