Learning is important, but taking actions is more important

Hi @Will Dupler, 

I recently posted a response to your same question to another person. Here is my input. 

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.

Hi @Simone Lesko, 

Welcome back! 

Finding an investor-friendly, honest, and capable general contractor can be a challenge, but here are some tips to help you:

1. Ask for referrals: Ask other investors or real estate professionals for referrals. They may have worked with contractors who fit your criteria.
2. Check references: Before hiring a contractor, check their references. Contact their previous clients and ask about their experience working with the contractor.
3. Look for experience: Look for contractors who have experience working with investors and understand the unique needs and timelines of real estate investing.
4. Get multiple bids: Get multiple bids from different contractors to compare pricing and services.
5. Trust your gut: If something seems off or you have a bad feeling about a contractor, trust your instincts and move on to someone else.

Remember, building a strong team of professionals is key to success in real estate investing. Take the time to find the right contractor who can help you scale your business. Good luck!
