@Salim Douglas There are lots of properties in Hartford that are available but most are rat holes that need a lot of work especially in the northend. 

I worked my way through college, switch my career, had a bankruptcy, dug out of a hole started over all by be own my own.

. $571.30 in the hole every month as you ran the numbers.

This brings up the ageless conversation of monetary savings from time management versus time investment perspective.

WITH STILL A LOT OF HOLES IN YOUR NUMBERS: I see the NOI ~$66k.

Furthermore, please make sure when you pontificate "when considering the best financial decision you must use [ROE]" that the ROE calculation is: 1) actually sited, and; 2) more importantly, demonstrated appropriately: total annual return (cash flow + principal reduction + appreciation) / total equityThe original poster @Jason Roe has some holes to fill before any accurate "metric" may be worked up for the ROE calculation:Cash flow - I asked the OP if he's planning on LTR, STR, or corporate housing.

If I was taking on a partner, I would structure that through an LLC with each member having a specified share of the LLC based strictly on their monetary contribution to start the LLC.

There's a hole in the door where the deadbolt was previously located.

Turning point was during inspection, sewer-scope (always, always pay for these) revealed a sink-hole sewage system.

." - depends on how the lease speaks to move-out cleaning, drywall holes and size.
