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.

Every inch of this property has been meticulously updated by professional investors featured on TV, ensuring top-notch quality and style.

With the down payment you're putting down (assuming it's at best 25%) with current interest rates, you're maybe going to be scraping a couple of backs cash flow on a Class C+ property. 

What's up Rickey, I'm a broker and investor here in Sacramento, and I manage about 100 rental / airbnb properties.

I can do the parade of horribles for a personally owned rental property but suffice it to say that it is a long and robust parade and the horribles are horrible.

Since you have more time than capital right now, consider side hustles like Airbnb co-hosting, property management for other investors, or even leveraging your nursing background to consult for mid-term rental owners.

When I found the property I simply extended the radius of my search and tadaaaa "duplex" cought my attention and especially for a $350k purchase.

Getting into almost any property in Charlottesville for under $200,000 is quite the feat.

Im looking to connect with wholesalers who have properties under contract..

If you're looking for ways to accelerate, consider these options:Seller Financing – Some sellers may finance a portion of the purchase price, reducing your need for a large down payment.DSCR Loans – These loans focus on property cash flow rather than personal income, often requiring only 15% down.Private Money Lenders – If you can find a PML willing to work with you, you may be able to put less down.Partnerships – If you’re open to splitting profits, you could bring in a partner who funds the down payment.Since you’re okay with the slower path, just keep stacking cash, but these might be worth exploring to move faster!
