i'm considering trying to invest in CT at some point (I used to live there, I own a property there and have part of a business network, and I have family there) and just out of curiosity, I actually looked at new housing starts in CT vs.

One of the biggest challenges for everyone involved is being on the same page about the actual time required for maintenance.DIY landlords rarely properly track their time when it comes to property management in general - tracking their true time invested in maintenance is where they perform the worst.Investors that hire PMCs are rarely any better at understanding the true amount of time maintenance takes.

The draw is actually this coming Fri for 2026The market for STR seems saturated in popular/touristic regions, however, if you have a unique property and offer affordable pricing, you may get descent occupancy. 

I think it is just as indisputable that higher cost markets will produce greater value add via a proper rehab.Next question is does initial cash flow have any correlation to actual cash flow over a long hold. 

Basement was actually  7.6ft so we had to dig.

What Actually Works:• Ask questions• Understand their “why.”
