Hi Stephanie- I am in NY, which is a bit of a commute but certainly interested in your market. I traveled up to Hartford two weeks to look around and got a feel of the area. Looking for an effective agent and a property manager. Thanks.

Maybe late to the market, but I have recently started to explore the Waterbury market and would be interested in any insights you can provide. I am looking for a decent 3 or 4 unit that is appropriately priced for positive CASHFLOW. Love to also connect with an investor friendly agent and a property manager. It’s see like a tough market to break into and the retail agents don’t care much for out of state investors.

I would agree.  It’s a good back of the napkin but it’s not good for go no go

I would also be interested in the percentage being used for total expenses. Some say approximately 50% of gross rent but I find that to be very high and greatly reduce ROI.

I am in contract for a rental property that needs a complete rehab. The seller considerable amount of the materials and some appliance which are included in the deal. How should these items be factored into the construction estimates. I want to have contractors walk through and prepare pricing scope of work.

I just check it out on Amazon.   It’s an opportunity to diversify my portfolio . Thanks for the feedback.

I agree, Dan.   I am at the open end of that firehouse.  

Thanks Chris, recently I have been listening to different podcasts and reading as much as I can on the topic.  This is all part of my learning process.  There is so much information out there and I am not sure how best to filter. I have always trusted PB to point me in the right direction.  

Looking to learn more about notes before shifting my strategy to investing. Any secret sauce you can share?

Also looking for a Tax Strategist in the NY area
