I live in Central MA and am looking for a new property(s) to buy and hold in CT. 

https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1122635-the-s...For 2024, it will be a mixed-use personal/vacation property on which no losses are allowed at all.

thanks for your time and help 1st off, full disclosure here, Rent To Retirement advertises their properties on my Investment Properties For Sale Show, so I am not a totally unbiased opinion and it's only fair that I tell you this up frontHaving said that, outside of running my show for people like them, I also own a property management company in Northeast Ohio and have worked with 1,000's of out of state investors over the years.I say all of that to say this, the overwhelming majority of negative reviews I have seen on them are very similar to a lot of negative experiences investors have with my property management company and others like it that I've worked with.

Those are some amazing #’s in that short period of time.

The interior will need to be repaired and repainted.I've done several 1900 - 1920's and while they usually have good bones, the electrical can be underpowered for today's needs, and the water lines can be corroded galvanized or even lead.

We both have busy W2's and don't have the time right now to do more (which I'd love to do at some point).

There's a good chance the issue(s) you face has already been discussed and answered.Ask questions in the appropriate forum.

If you are doing a For Sale By Owner (FSBO), the platform(s) you are using may not be effective.4.

Goal is to have purchased one property by the end of 2025, s still have quite some time to get that done. 

Some of the best advice I got that I will forget was this:"SOME OF THE BEST DEALS, ARE THE ONES YOU DON'T GET"Let that sink in for a while...I remember 4117 s Michigan Ave. here in Chicago, it was an awesome 8 unit full gut condo conversation - I loved the deal and still belileve it would have been a great deal, but would have pinched me so thin I am not sure how I would have survived.
