Hello @Emily Etter,
I personally own a multi-family in Waterbury, CT. But since you are investigating in another area, these are my input to your question. Hartford County in Connecticut has several cities and towns that may be suitable for house hacking and investing in multi-family properties. Here are some areas to consider:
- Hartford: This city is the capital of Connecticut and has a strong rental market with good demand for multi-family properties. It also has several colleges and universities that may provide a steady stream of potential tenants.
- West Hartford: This town is located just west of Hartford and is known for its good schools and strong housing market. It may be a good option for investors looking for higher-end multi-family properties.
- Manchester: This town is located east of Hartford and has a growing economy and affordable housing market, making it an attractive option for investors looking for cash flow opportunities.
- New Britain: This city is located southwest of Hartford and has a diverse economy and affordable housing market, making it another good option for investors looking for cash flow opportunities.
- East Hartford: This town is located east of Hartford and has a strong rental market with good demand for multi-family properties. It also has several colleges and universities that may provide a steady stream of potential tenants.
Again, it's important to conduct your own research and due diligence before making any investment decisions. Consult with local professionals, such as real estate agents, property managers, and attorneys, to get a better understanding of the local market conditions, regulations, and potential risks and opportunities.
Sincerely,
Hamlet
