Clear expectations have to be set and an understanding that in almost all cases, net worth is built slowly, deliberately and over time. 

I live in Southwestern Connecticut, and am looking for places that are not only ideal for escaping the winter months but also have strong potential for rental income/future resale value of the property.

I want to do my first fix and flip in the future but I am afraid that no hard money lender will give me a loan considering my resume.

Thanks I would look to AirDNA for this - they have long had pretty good (guidance, not perfect) rentalizer solutions for projecting revenue, but have recently added good info on expected expenses and the property managers in the area (for at the very least coming up with expected operating / management costs) etc

How many units do you expect for your $800k-$1M, Class A or B MFR?

I'll keep you in mind should I think about switching in the future.

I just closed on my first 4plex with all 3 bedrooms and ready to become a great landlord to my tenants/future tenants.

I'm seeing many more in your future, keep up the good work.

Last Dec was no different, i send in the money for the license, fill out info and expect a reply shortly thereafter.

Have a conversation with your partners and mention to them that you are interested in buying them out.Make sure to factor in closing costs on the future sale in your offer.
