A 50% LTV loan is a pretty safe bet so you'll probably be able to get somebody to bite assuming you're willing to pay the points/higher interest.Another option would be to contact some credit unions in the CT market you're property is located in.

@Alex Silang I am not claiming to be an expert but I think your best bet would be to look for a turnkey provider in a place conveniently close to you and see if they would be willing to give you a role in what they do - maybe doing something you are already good at, so they benefit, and in return you see and learn what they do.I am suggesting this because in my line of work there are many many people with academic and theoretical knowledge but they often haven't ever really applied any of it.

I would like to use my past real estate experience along with my degree to build a family real estate investment business to enable my husband to leave his current job to work along with me and pass along to my son one day.I am a big fan of forums and of networking so I look forward to meeting so many of you online and maybe even get the opportunity to FaceTime or Skype to share professional experiences.I enjoy helping others so if there may be any questions that I can answer for you especially in the area of property management which is a strength of mine, please don't hesitate to ask.

So areas like that are not a smart bet compared with more urban areas.
