I have always had a passion for finding the diamond in the rough and have wanted to rehab and resell.

Connecticut has some good areas. the city of hartford is improving. they've put a lot of investment dollars into downtown and trying to make it a more relevant city. it's still a little risky because hartford still has a ways to go, but check it out. you might find a diamond in the rough for a buy and hold. taxes are a bit on the high side but it can't hurt to look. 

Find them through Google and meetup.com Check out the Black Diamond meetings.Two Great reads, I bought both J.

Good luck @Diamond Campbell.

I was hoping to attend the black diamond REI meeting tonight in Waltham, but unfortunately I just got home from work.

The one-percenters got their face time, because they plunked down $25,000 each for the Diamond Package to go to a Buying Summit in Las Vegas to learn how to buy real estate.

My favorite is the Black Diamond meeting in Waltham (Alternates every other month with their other location in Worcester, this is a Waltham month).  

@Patrick Diamond would you say that it takes a good deal of time and energy to keep the properties at 20 to 25 days occupied per month??

As you probably know, we used to hold 2 Black Diamond meetings a month, and the workload was, frankly, killer.
