Having worked with 1,000's of investors to Broker the properties I sell in my local market, and having worked with dozens of Property Managers, Turnkey Providers, Agents, Property Management Software Companies, Lenders, Inspectors and various other investment real estate vendors to market their products and services on my show, the one thing that stood out to be was the CEO Zach's obsession with the biz.In real estate we've get a lot turnover, a lot of flameout.

If you just take the 13,835 financed at 6% you are adding 83 dollars a month. so a double whammy.Now, lets consider if rates drop to 5.5% in 24 months (not a prediction just a what if) and you could have refinanced at a much lower costs then the above scenario in what you paid in pre-paid and additional interest. on the other hand, if rates for your same scenario after your 5 year payback period is 9, then you will have an asset with a much lower then current market rent.

I get 2 or 3 bookings in a whole year from them.Given my high prices I am happing with the simplicity of getting the bookings from VRBO I do advertising other places such as local FB groups for Lake houses.Ultimately VRBO is king for me.

With the exception of CTREI are there any other investor group meet-ups in Connecticut? 

I ask because we only buy houses around the southern US (TX,OK,AR,TN) but we're curious to know if more opportunities to buy foreclosures could potentially exist in other markets. 

Or just sell it at a loss… I need some guidance here, I know very little about real estate investing other than I know I’ll be losing money after maintenance and paying a property manager.

No advice as I think my savings account earns maybe 1%, so I'd also love to hear from others.
