It might be a good source for you to get some ideas to get you some traction on doing things right.

Now that I'm working and out of training...trying to build up traction and play catch up.My primary interest is in buy and hold properties with the focus on cash flow.  

Kevin,Looking for some off market deals - i'm a licensed real estate agent so I have that angle covered, looking to get some traction on properties you wont see on the MLS.Towns are Enfield, Suffield, Ellington, Manchester, vernon, bloomfield.

Have you considered just wholesaling to gain some traction and get to know the market, plus generate the cash you need to run rentals.If ya want my purchase agreement and assignment of contract, feel free to call my office and they will send it to ya. 

HELCO right now are not a smart move because the rate is variable, and if the FED continues to increase rate you might end up not being able to make the payments or gain any traction.
