I'm looking for an electrician / electrical contractor in Hoboken or Jersey City. I'm looking for a quote. 

I'm looking for a portfolio lender in NJ too. I need financing for a deal with 20% down. 

Thank you, Phil. I believe he has a long term lease on the warehouse space and wants to sublet part of it. He is in retail. He is trying to find a subletter without going through a broker first, before he contacts any brokers. He is in NJ. It's a small space, he's subletting 2,000 SF.

I'm writing on behalf of a small business owner friend of mine. He wants to sublet part of his warehouse. What sites do you recommend he advertise on? Loopnet?

Hi @Jose Andrade, it's good to see someone else from the home of brownstone! I've been seeing a lot of investors and flips going on in Portland, by the way (I have family there). Where are you looking to buy? If you have interest in Fairfield County, my partner and I find deals there.

Welcome to BP!

I've heard that when you renovate your apartment/coop/other unit in close proximity to neighbors, you should write a letter to notify neighbors. Some people go so far as sending gifts, as suggested in this article from Brick Underground. Is this just a NYC thing? Have any of you done this?

@Tom Mendez I have, they come in around $200k. He has the properties rented for $1350/month. 

I could look at comps and local rental rates and estimate expenses, but I'm also curious what investors themselves would expect for a cap rate in this area.

What would you consider a good cap rate and a minimum cap rate you would accept for a property in lower Connecticut? I'm looking at a property in Milford, in particular.
