Hey BP,

I've got a 2700 sq ft house in Connecticut near the shore that I am replacing all the flooring on.  Due to the size of the house I'm looking to get the best bang for my buck.  Does anyone have a good flooring company they wouldn't mind sharing?  Doesn't have to be local.  I looked into Cali Bamboo but read some pretty horrible reviews so I'm going to keep looking.

Thanks in advance!

Hello fellow CT investors! 

After my first successful flip that I closed back on May 15th, I'm getting to the point where I feel like I'm never going to find another property where the numbers make sense. I've had tons of offers but all swings and misses. For those investors out there who are flipping SFR's, what is working for you to find your deals? Are you doing direct marketing? Do you have someone in the industry sending you constant money makers? Maybe I'm passing on deals because my margins are slimmer since I'm not a realtor saving on commission or using my own cash saving on financing costs. But I'm finding the MLS really hard to find deals here in CT, and I understand the MLS has a ton of competition but I also feel like the banks aren't settling low enough these days either. Are any other CT investors having success using the MLS & working with banks? Any pointers to start landing more deals?

thanks @Jason A. what do you look for when researching? @Scott Hollister thanks for the recommendation I need one done this week due to a 5 day inspection window and mike is booked until July 10. I'll keep him in mind for future projects though. 

Connecticut Investors: I'm looking for recommendations for a cost effective and trustworthy inspector for a property in Madison.  Appreciate the help in advance!

@Phillip Tutino is this property still available? [email protected]

Thanks Elio Campiolo Jr iv had multiple recommendations for Ted. Hopefully I hear back from him.

For 2017. Didn't do any deals in 2016 although I did set up the LLC and obtain LOC's but didn't make any income with the business.

hey @Michael Noto good to hear from you. Thanks for the recommendation I'll definitely reach out. Hope everything is good with you. 

Hi BP,

I'm an investor in Connecticut and looking for a reputable investor-friendly accountant to help with my business and prepare for taxes. This is my first year as a real estate investor and am close to selling my first property, lining up #2 shortly.

Thanks in advance!
