I burnt my fingers already in the past with bad PM.

This juice is very smooth and a wonderful aroma with hints of all kinds of stuff that I can not put my finger on.  

Fingers crossed that your next one goes this easily. 

That's about a 35% return on my money and I didn't have to lift a finger. 

After swallowing some lumps thanks to one thread I posted back in April, I should (crossed fingers, no blown furnaces or sheard off roofs) be in a good position next year to reinvest.This is hopefully not a beat the dead horse, "where is the best cash flow in X" post, more of a strategy question for anyone who knows the market in CT.Here is what my limited knowledge/intuition tells me: Waterbury, Bridgeport, parts of Hartford cash flow best because of the inherent risk, lower fairfield county cash flows worst (today) because of NYC effect on price/rent, and there is an in-between SOMEWHERE.I think that somewhere is in the central part of the state between route 8 and 91 north of new haven, east of waterbury.

@Nate HerndonDidnt expect a yes to stacking my small properties for one loan but my fingers were crossed.Thanks for breaking down the hypotethical.

Hey mate,Welcome to the BP forum.You and @Jackelyn Lee are smarty pants heheI quit school at 14 and I'm a two finger pecker typer 🤓My team laughs at me for looking like a Teppanyaki chef throwing rice at someone when I type.Biggest message for you is to always keep the dream alive and to keep pushing forward.There are many unsophisticated folks out there like myself and I'll be cliche and say "if I can do it, anyone can" hehe.What one lacks in talent, has to make up with effort.I've only known one way and that is to put my head through the wall.Many others will just open the door and get to the other side lol.Not me tho ehhhYep, neck is always sore but we keep pushing forward...Wishing you much success with your real estate endeavors 🙏

Better that out of state investors keep their fingers out of the area all together.

But I also see the selling point of being “closer” to the beach area as mentioned by others.Anyways, we are considering going with the bigger/cheaper house for the first invest, fingers crossed!

Nobody takes responsibility and the finger pointing starts.It becomes a mess.I'm bias as we offer turnkey so take what I say with a grain of salt.Much success
