There is some variability in the different neighborhoods.The best towns to do a house hack in my opinion are West Hartford, Newington, Glastonbury Rocky Hill, And generally any good Suburban town outside of the working markets.Primary employers are clustered along routes 91 and 84 and the Merritt Parkway.

The sellers would not like to go the seller financing route.

I think Saving up the money is going to be a good route for me to take. 

@Sam Kahl Thanks I am going for value added opportunities I will take neighborhoods / Block / streets Intersections Areas young professionals are buying Open to buying something in a more expensive area that not updated I can do the more in depth research but I need some keys locals always know best 

A lot of people are doing well in this sector here in Toledo and I'd like to hear what other investors are seeing in other markets and if this is a route to pursue.Best,Stephen Brown

Will explore that route as well.

I would recommend connecting with an attorney who has represented wholesalers and flippers if you are wanting to go that route.

Condos get SUCH a bad rep on here which makes me really not want to go that route but the thing I do like is that it seems less competitive to get, and allows me to get a prime location for less money than a house.

If you go that route, tell them I referred you

If you go the non-bank route (like a hard money lender), you'll be able to get a 30 year fixed against a duplex at 20% down and the rate would likely be 4.5% - 5.125% depending on your credit score and the property's/loan's characteristics.
