You’re in the right place to start your real estate journey.

I could also offer a handful of questions you might ask when interviewing an advisor. 

I don't work in Connecticut enough to know this answer off-hand but a large majority of states that opt-out of bonus depreciation effectively pretend it doesn't exist.

Hi @Rita SamaddarI recommend areas based on three things:Budget: Knowing your cash to close helps me suggest the best areas, especially if you're using a hard money loan.Rehab Level: Whether you prefer low or major rehab impacts the neighborhoods I'll recommend.Market Dynamics: Areas with minimal days on market are ideal, as they predict how quickly your property will sell post-rehab.In conclusion, start with how much you have to work with and the level of rehab you're comfortable with to find the best areas for fix and flip.

We got dinged with one that was our fault, but felt the punishment way out-weighed the crime.We took on a handful of properties from a new client. 

Someone coming for usually 30-90 days from out of town doesn't want to go through the hassle of figuring out who the providers are, starting service, stopping service, etc.

To start, research local markets, evaluate properties, and understand financing options.Good luck!
