Hi @Ronald H. have you considered partnering with someone who knows the construction side of the business to help you with your deals to put together your SOW? Personally, I met my business partner through BP, and it has been great so far.

Obviously a partner will dilute your profits on a single deal, but it should also mean you will be able to do more deals  (among other advantages). Also, if you have a partner that lives in Connecticut, you can probably drive down to CT less too - which sounds like that's your goal.

Welcome @Terry Fox ! Where in Connecticut are you looking at those properties? To me the GRM/~1% rule seems a little on the low side (even in CT), but then again it depends on the area and your tenant base.

Best of luck in your search, and feel free to PM me if I can help.
