Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.Looking to starting acquiring more multi families in New Haven and Hartford county.

@Benjamin Danard not sure what town its located in but for reference I've had friends rent studios in rough shape in center of Hartford for $600 and $1100 in West Hartford.

Thoughts on East Hartford?

Check out Hartford County when you have some time.

My partner and I are looking into purchasing a multifamily building (6 unit) in Hartford, CT and trying to come up with some creative ways to put the least amount out of pocket into this deal and still make it a win-win for the seller and us.One of the things we are exploring is having the seller finance the down payment (20-25%), but not sure how to go about it as I have been told that lenders would not allow the seller to put the down payment (a 20% mtg to the seller and 80% mtg to the lender... essentially us not putting any money or "skin in the game").

Property is located in Hartford county Connecticut.  

I saw pretty cheap buildings with good annual returns/fully occupied in areas such as Bridgeport or Hartford, CT - are these good investments and how do I determine whats a good investment? 

Located 45 min out of Hartford CT. in small farming and residential community.

Simsbury, North Haven, Winsdor and Hartford all have opportunities for house hacking.How are you going about looking fro your deals?

Definitely still seeing 1% "rule" and beyond in the North Central Connecticut market (think Hartford county).
