I manage my own units and I was getting tired of prescreening each prospect, so I had my own web system written. It works very well! Now, I wanted to market it to other landlords. Any ideas of how to do this?

I am curious to find out what other landlords have experienced the attrition rate for 1 bedroom apartments in CT. 

Talk to 2 - 4 other realtors. I don't think he is giving good advise to you. There are certain factors in making that decision and I can give you my input which would be better via a short conversation!

What city did you buy these buildings?

Where did you find them? MLS or ZILLOW or ?

The remote rehab is a challenge, for sure. The key is finding a good, reliable contractor. However, the problem is most contractors don't fit this criteria. As we all know, contractors have their own reputation, anywhere in the country, but I firmly believe there are still the few that are honest and reliable and will work at a good price. Unfortunately, one has to go through several contractors to figure this out, which costs time and money! Nowadays, I try and get a referral from somebody and I am trying this currently, which is 'kinda' working out (at least better than craigslist!). I have been burnt many times, but I don't let that deter me, since I know at the end I come out ahead.

What kind of properties do you own?

Do you do any rehab?

Do you know any good contractors who are reliable and do a good job?

I bought mine recently a few months ago. Usually I hold on to my properties for a LONG time as rentals. I have 22 units in CT currently and 5 in RI, and I self manage from CA. Currently have 3 vacancies and a duplex to be fully remodeled, which I will start next month. Tell me more about yourself, please.

Anybody want to chat about RE in CT? I am primarily an multi-family, seasoned investor, who has properties in Norwich and Torrington. I live in CA. Just seeing to see who would be interested in exchanging ideas. I believe that bouncing ideas is always good, right, specially when we are on the same page.
