You need to check with them to answer all your questions.

I like it but had few problems with connecting bank accounts at the beginning. Now it’s all set and money is in my bank within couple of days. Again, it’s free for tenants and me. It doesn’t have any background check option though.

@Kevin Dombrowski buy it fix it (raise value) refinance and use that money to buy another one. I did that 4 times within last 3 years in new Britain. I’m currently looking at another property while still renovating last two

@Mindy Jensen

I use zibo.co after moving from cozy.co. I didn’t like apartments.com. Zibo is free for me and tenants.

@Griffin Doninger

I guess it all depends on how much you want to put into it.

I would 100% add a meter and wash my hands from having to act as a electrical company as it may cause arguments between you and tenants on many levels.

I would also rip out the radiators and replace it with central AC/heating units as you have good access to both floors (from above and below). By doing so you could forget about any maintenance for years...but again it all depends on your budget.

sorry, zoning map is on GIS server. From the menu top right corner pick zoning. Good luck.

@Griffin Doninger first of all I would start with zoning and which zone your property is. If it’s in 2 family zone I think you’re not gonna get far. Interactive map is on NB town website

@Michael Doherty no issues really... I just find them very outdated and I wasn’t sure if it’s easy to rent them out. I own properties built after 1950 and felt like it’s different kind of animal. But I guess it’s not. I did get few feedbacks that I should not worry about the age of the house but more of if it’s cleanliness and if it’s updated inside.

Thank you for your answer. It does help to hear your opinion.

@Michael Doherty do you own any properties from 1920's? Is it easy to rent them in NB?

Do you have any single family properties in NB in your portfolio?

@Steve Morris that makes perfect sense
