2.Does anyone have experience investing in or house hacking in Danbury?

In my experience, there are a range of starting-off experiences, but one's experience is not always indicative of someone's desire/drive/commitment to pursue and thrive in real estate. 

You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on, and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

I run a MTR out of my primary bedroom and would be happy to connect and chat about your plans and what my experiences have been. 

I would anticipate it would depend on the level of detail you desired but it has been my experience that the will do free estimates.

Does anyone have any experience or guidance on doing one of these?  

That's probably what I'd do first unless you just have no experience doing these deals at all. 

I wanted to ask advice of some of you who have a lot of experience in long-term rentals. 

It also gave me the chance to experiment with short-term rentals before transitioning to a long-term hold, reinforcing my strategy for growing a real estate portfolio.
