If what you're realtor brought up was close to 70k they might have cast a VERY wide net.

And totally agree I’ve looked at this deal from many different angles.

There are no shortage of residential and multifamily focused groups but I'd love to connect with investors solely focusing on the other commercial property types (Office, Industrial, Retail)If they are virtual I'm interested country-wide.

We tried every angle, even found their kids (son would mow the lawns etc to avoid code enforcement issues), but until both spouses died the kids were at a loss how to unload it.At the time we were fortunate to pick up an old home a block away after a small kitchen fire.

This is a pretty wide loophole a lot of areas are allowing so I would suggest using it ASAP before it gets closed by the new administration.  

For such a small state Connecticut has a lot to offer in terms of real estate investing, at a wide range of price-points.

I would cut the newel post caps off and either slant cut the tops on 45 degree angles on four side with a flat spot or get a faux copper cap.

Hence my wide focus.

You can always look for owner finance opportunities but you need to approach the conversation from the right angle and be able to build strong rapport with the seller.Feel free to reach out!

BP offers a wide range of resources and if you don't know an answer to a question, someone probably has asked it.
