Hartford, New Britain?

West Hartford comes to mind, as an example.

Appreciation likely.East Hartford Mostly a B/C class community.

Wish to invest in my 1st multifamily, and goals are:1) to use my va loan as a veteran to purchase my 1st multifamily rental property2) Plan to buy 1st property for rental income and equity appreciation, then purchase 2nd property a year later 3) To figure out if I should start with  properties in not so good areas of Pennsylvania like allentown , Connecticut like bridgeport, hartford, waterbury and if I do what should i be looking into before I buy anything   4) Minimize and avoid top mistakes newbie multifamily investors make 5) make list of questions I should be asking before purchasing anything 

Also interested in Hartford to Pomfret-Putnam, but I'll list that in another area on the BP site.Best,Pete
