There are great meetups in CT from @Brandon Rush, @Ryan Luby, @Stephanie Cabral, @Devin Peterson, and CTREIA if you want to network with the CT real estate community. 

@Pranav PatelStarting your real estate journey with $50K saved and a strong income ahead is a fantastic position to be in.

Also, keeping an eye on zoning changes or upcoming developments can help you get ahead of the curve.Would love to hear more about your experiences too—what areas are you currently focusing on?

2025 is approaching fast, and I know many of us have already started our business planning for the year ahead.

Getting the information takes time and experience but once you have it you'll be light years ahead of others who are just starting out. 

It may even take a 3-5 years to get cash flow positive but if during that time it is cheaper to own monthly, than pay rent, you are way ahead.  

I’d easily be $15MM more ahead in my investing career if I’d have focused on that for the 23 years it took me to get really going.

I don't think rent to retirement can vet a deal any better than anyone else or you, they just have a bit of a system. but the new builds in Lehigh acres, Cape Coral, north port, etc are all garbage. septic systems, poor economics, low rent to purchase price ratios, you are banking on appreciation and buying at market. building direct is going to give you a competitive advantage on a 3 unit let's say worth 600,000 you are going to be 120k ahead than if you bought it through them. that's my analysis. if you are super lazy and too busy to make money and have millions to throw around then I'd recommend not thinking much about investing. but you can also invest in funds and be way omre passive than buying a new build from far away. but if you want to add real value then get involved and make it happen. getting wealthy isn't easy. you work hard for your money and there are build to rent developers like us that try to answer and add value to start buiding relationshipsl

Nor will you get a Constable to go with you if you have not confronted the issues ahead of time......unless you encounter physical violence or a threat to your life, I highly doubt you will get any support in giving an eviction notice to a tenant.  

You should try to get feedback from mentors that are ahead of you in your niche.
