You have preyed on people who had good faith in you to care for their properties, for their personal health and safety; and instead now live with ongoing health issues, legal fees, and are forced to reside in unsafe conditions.

(It used to be monthly, in-person.)They make money if you buy properties from their affiliates, and can provide additional free, one-on-one guidance via their investment counselors.

I will do some digging and learn more about New Britain as I really have only been there a couple times.

Hi Kevin,To get into fix and flips, I started by focusing on a few key steps that helped me find success:Educate Yourself: Learn the market, analyze property values, and understand rehab costs.Build a Network: Connect with real estate agents, contractors, and lenders.Secure Financing: Consider hard money or private loans for quick capital.Find the Right Property: Look for undervalued homes in growing areas.Create a Detailed Plan: Budget carefully and have a clear timeline for renovations.What worked best for me was staying disciplined with my numbers and always having a solid team in place.

Assuming the property is appraised at $650,000.00 I am hoping the equity will get my LVT to 75% eliminating the PMI, adding to the potential cash flow when I go to rent and then putting that cash flow + personal savings away to raise capital to buy another piece of property.I realize that in order to buy my next piece of property I will want to put down 20% to avoid PMI and a high mortgage but saving 20% for a piece of property in my area is going to take some time due to the high price ranges $500,000-$700,000.

Personally and professionally, I'm craving connection more than ever (it has been a long, weird 10 months and I miss our local meet ups).

Lessons learned?

Have you contacted apartments personally or are you taking the brokers word? 

I am excited to learn about real estate and i want some suggestions to guide me on how to start.

I've learned about hard money or direct loan companies but everyone I've talked to so far I can't really say I'd trust them with my personal information much less to to a financing deal with.
