Now here comes my issue I have 2-3 clients/ family friends that want to partner with me, they would put all the capital required to do a flip.

Our goal is to be financially free in 20 years, and use real estate as part of our investment portfolio to achieve that.

Hi Friends,My name is Vinay I am a new bee and am interested in real estate Investing.

I was in a Realestate Class about 2yrs ago when a friend of mine did his first fix/flip, one of those lucky/ right place, right time deals.

Don't be afraid to keep tabs on other nearby markets too, if your investor friend is willing to invest outside of Murray.

The lease is clear on abandonment, the State of CT isn't as landlord friendly on that topic, they still require the eviction to go forward.

Not having a whole lot of experience with HML's, what has been some member's personal experience with them and is there anything you'd recommend me do/not do as a new user of hard money loans?

At this time I would Sell two of my rental houses in order to Buy my friends two houses, on the lot next door, in a bad neighborhood, because I can get them for $30K under Retail, after a new roof and electric.

One last question I had related to an experienced REI-friendly CPA in the area.

I immediately moved into the house and just put the word out through friends that I was looking for roommates.
