I own 19 properties in Rhode Island and have found the Eastern CT market to have Rents just as high as Rhode Island with property prices 60% less and taxes 50% less.

Found on Zillow during a competitive time in the market.

Often times if you work with a local bank or credit union, you could get lower fees and a fair rate.

Pending property prices in your market perhaps $25,000 is enough to buy a small rental house.

If you want to network or ask specific questions about your local market, go to your local real estate forum and connect with investors from your area: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/86-local-real-estate-networking5.

In most markets it is not a linear price increase.  

our first baby is officially on the market and i have mix emotions but more happy because im excited for the next chapter !

@Kuba Rogut options:1) In-house maintenance team2) Out-sourced local maintenance team3) Outsource to Latchel, Porch, etc., 3rd party companies4) Mix of the above

This deal came about because the property lingered on the market, especially during winter.
