I am a realtor in Connecticut and my husband and I are considering investing in the Albany area, we are about 2 hours from the area and would like to find out more about the area. We will be in the area at the beginning of next week. I would love to meet with someone who is familiar with the market and investment opportunities.

I was wondering if anyone has any experience in getting money from someone who's money is out of country. I have a friend who is from Ghana, he has money there and has shown interest in investing with us, but isn't sure how to bring large amounts of money in, without it raising red flags.  Does anyone know of any issues that we may run into under these circumstances.  We were going to consult a real estate attorney, but thought I would check here too. Thanks.

I’ve been working with a great realtor in Fairfield, she works with a lot of investors and invests herself. I’d be happy to refer you if you message me. I also know a great mortgage broker in the area if you need. Good luck!

The fees will vary state to state, but you could call your local board of realtors to find out what yours would be. Depending on how many house you plan to personally buy, you could realistically make your money back on those alone. You can also refer buyers to other agents and make a percentage if you are unable to show houses. I just got my license in Connecticut and if we buy 2-3 properties, which we plan to do, I will make back everything I invested in getting my license and have the opportunity to work with others as well.

I’m planning on attending, looking forward to seeing everyone.

Chris my husband and I came to your first meetup at sliders, unfortunately we haven’t been able to come to the last couple. We really enjoyed it though and hope to make this months.

Hi I’m a newer investor in Wallingford Connecticut. We are currently working on flips to build more capital and eventually start earning passive income through multi family properties. I’d love to hear about your multi family experience in the area. I wish I could help with commercial, but I’m not too familiar with that.

Thank you!

Hello BP! My husband and I recently jumped into real estate investing. We made the decision to go for it the end of March and we now have our first property in escrow! I have a background in real estate, prior to getting married I was a realtor in Florida, then worked as a marketing director in a real estate office. Since we married and moved to Connecticut, I’ve been fortunate to be a SAHM and worked in a couple direct marketing companies. Since deciding to get into investing I have listened to about 100 of the bp podcasts and read a few of the recommended books, I’ve taken the classes to get my CT real estate license and will take my exam on Monday. I appreciate all the information that BiggerPockets has given and we went to a local meet up and am now thinking of starting my own! We are currently looking to buy single family homes with at least 2 bedrooms and over 1000 sq ft in good school districts that we can rehab, add value and flip. Our ultimate goal will be multi family buy and hold properties, to however we want to raise capital through flipping houses. Thank you BiggerPockets community for so much valuable knowledge, you guys rock!

I came across it while listening to real estate investment videos on YouTube. I’m a newbie, but I really love listening to the podcasts and getting so many different perspectives to investment opportunities.
