Our primary property management partner oversees more than 200 of our clients' properties and offers MTR management at competitive rates (I do not receive any referrals btw).

I'm not too familiar with the markets yet but research I've done suggests that the towns of New Britain, New Haven and Hartford all have a good mix of inventory and low prices coupled with plenty of amenities, night life, cafes, etc and local colleges to bring younger people to the area year after year.

If you don’t have a large down payment saved up, don’t worry—there are plenty of options available . . .”A trusted lender will go over the various loan types with you, any down payment requirements on those, and down payment assistance programs you may qualify for.

Come to think of it, though, I can't imagine why they wouldn't let me perform one just to understand how much I can offer.  

When making offers I want to utilize the standard 70%-ARV-Profit formula.

Told them to do a drive by and call me back with an offer :)The person who called you probably just spent $15,000 for mentoring and “education”, and is now in panic that his 250 cold calls have not produced anything .

We have a 3% rate so dont want to refi but the property has appreciated quite a bit so would like to tap into that equity to fund our next deal.I am having some trouble finding lenders that offer helocs on investment properties.Does anyone know of any banks and/or lenders that do helocs on investments?

Also, managing the property as a rental could offer tax benefits.When purchasing, keep in mind condo association fees and maintenance costs.

They may offer less direct management and, depending on the location, could provide a solid return.Peer-to-Peer Lending or Crowdfunding: You could look into real estate crowdfunding platforms that let you invest in real estate projects without owning property.
