Ask him what makes him feel more secure in the deal?

What is the rate difference? 

Apartments in Connecticut have a 95.6% occupancy rate and stay on the market for just 37 days—making it one of the most competitive rental markets around!

Use this rating and classification system I have created over time to get an idea of the "Class" for the area - A class B class & so onHere is my rating & classification for each livability score.80 and above A+78/79 A76/77 A-74/75 B+72/73 B70/71 B-68/69 C+66/67 C64/65 C-60/63 D59 and below F

Renting it out now could help cover the mortgage, and you’d benefit from any appreciation over the next two years.

I will be purchasing the properties in cash, likely from mortgage or tax deed/lien auction.

Thanks for the reply.

Problem is mate nobody is willing to make that sacrifice.That's why we have a job lolI moved from Australia to the US in 2012 to follow my real estate dreams.Folks have been born and bread here and still many don't want to do the work and would rather complain and blame me for any issues that occur from a turnkey investment standpoint ehhh 🤷‍♂️

The modest purchase price, combined with an ideal renovation budget, presented a prime opportunity to improve the home’s market appeal.

I had been living in a PadSplit and was able to save enough to buy a property so I bought this one and house hacked it as a 4/2 using the PadSplit platform.
