First post here and I am completely new to real estate investing.I live in Connecticut and I have settled on wanting my first investment to be in Connecticut.

Greetings guys I'm D'Ondre (Dee-ahn-dray) an aspiring Real estate Investor. 

It’s not intended to address tenant screening or defaulting issues, and I can see why it might not seem relevant to your concerns about tenant behavior and payment habitsTo answer your question,I fully own a couple of companies and hold partial ownership in others with real estate portfolios totaling over $100 million in market value, but I try to keep an open mind and learn from both sides-whether it's through advocating for better tenant practices or working with property managers.

When financing a large-scale fix-and-flip project, assessing and managing risk is crucial for success.Risk Management StrategiesContingency Budgeting:Set aside a contingency fund (typically 10-20% of renovation costs) for unexpected expenses.Time Management:Develop a detailed project timeline to keep renovations on track and avoid extended holding costs.Partnerships:Collaborate with experienced contractors and real estate agents to mitigate risks associated with repairs and market positioning.Insurance:Obtain comprehensive insurance coverage, including builder’s risk insurance and general liability insurance, to protect against unforeseen events.Exit Strategy:Always have an exit strategy.

Being a different type of real estate and nothing like it around I can get realistically $1,500- $1,700 a bed being a different realm of real estate (especially in my area). 

I’ve read a couple of intro real estate books, listened to multiple of the BP podcasts, so was exploring the idea of the license as well

This should probably be in the category of real estate HISTORY, but since we don’t have that category…..I’m reading a book that has me intrigued, “DealMaker in Chief.  

Real Estate is an investment.

It’s also worth asking the seller for more details on the tenants’ payment history and lease terms.If you’re new to this market, local property managers or real estate agents can give insights on vacancy rates and tenant turnover.

helped me to decide to become a realtor Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
