Let's link up man! 

No worries man you let me know when and we can link up. I work full time at an automotive shop so nights and weekends are typically the best for me.

If you are working on a small budget I have some advice especially in this market area. I personally think the multifamily market is insane in the NW corner, but I can show you what to do if I was in your shoes in my humble opinion. 

I would also recommend you talk to @Jerryll Noorden as I think he is working on a property in Torrington as well.

 Thanks for the Mention kind sir.

To answer the posters concerns... yes, there are always good deals regardless of times or markets.

Sure during disasters the lead flow will drop... for a day, week, a month,... but it goes back up fast.

here are our leads this week...

So try hard to never give in to mass hysteria. We are getting leads, and if I can get leads everyone can as well!

So chin up, chest out, you dah man!

So James, if you are inviting people over for a healthy chat to provide value I am in. Buy me a Shirley temple and I will man hug you! I will share my secret SEO strategies with you 2!

 Let's get it done guys. Teamwork makes the dream work!

So to update this thread, if anyone is getting frustrated, keep grinding and hustling and find a mentor. I have done really well this past year. Bought 3 in Torrington and I am doing a lease-option on a duplex in Winsted CT now. 

If you are not happy where you are now, just look to where you started a year ago, or two years ago and realize how far you have come in a small amount of time. 

I haven't posted in a while. I have about 20 cars at this point. Scattered around different properties. 

I have used attorney Larry Kiel twice now he just did my closing a few weeks ago.

Hey man I love the goals. Wanted to ask you something though. Is this something you intent to owner occupy or is it something you are strictly going to use as an investment? I invest in areas (Torrington and Winsted CT mostly) where natural appreciation is not promised. The cash flow can be lucrative though and you can force appreciation on places if you buy them right. The key to making money is when you buy, the key to making money is when you buy... I repeated myself as it is that important. 

I own 3 houses in Torrington ( one is rented but that is a long story). The other 2 are vacant and I am fixing them up. Buy in was very low. 

To me it is definitely a gray area, however you may be okay with that. It all depends on what your comfort level is. I do not wholesale houses but I have considered it. If you have a knack for finding deals that no one else can and have too many to close on personally I think wholesaling is a good option and cherry picking the best for yourself. If you are an investor and find a good deal nobody questions your ethics normally, as opposed to when you are a wholesaler it seems "scummy". It is like everything in life, selling cars for example. There are a ton of great folks that sell cars but the 5% bad ones are all you really hear about.

It is something that is probably frowned upon but not illegal in a lot of peoples minds, including whatever portion of state government regulates that sort of thing. 

Manchester meet up is happening March 11th at @Kit Crowne which is Right Trac Financial in Manchester - starts around 5:30-6pm. I have a closing that week, but should be able to attend.
