Any recommendations on lawyers to talk to that can assist in advising on an LLC fund (if needed) and how? 

CT isn't cheap so if you plan on doing it there you are going to surprised at how poorly you do. maybe in the suburbs I'm not sure but as much as I know people call us from CT and everyone is rich and has lots of money and things are expensive out there. build to rent is a great model. we build 3 story walk up infill and keep it to the residential side. 3 units is the most units before it's commercial and you need engineering, etc. check comparable and things liek that. we came up with this design a year ago and we sold 10 if you want to talk further please DM me happy to connect. there are some great build to rent conferences. we went vertical not horizontal with it to save on build costs and design to fit on any infill lot. this fits on a 3500 square foot lot. most lots in our area are 30x120 or 30x150. in miami where I live now they are 50x100 or so. but any infill lot we can pretty much get this one on. there are some great build to rent conferences coming up too that if you like this topic I'd recommend attending I'm sure you'd learn a lot. 

If you’re leaning toward an LLC, I can recommend some local options to help set it up.

If you're working with an investment brokerage, I'd recommend tapping into Tampa and Central Florida markets too—areas like Riverview, Wesley Chapel, and Brandon have been strong for both flips and long-term holds with steady demand.
