Bull market: most everyone makes money.  

I have a couple local title companies that can do it easily.

Hey Jerry, I personally invest in the Columbus market and have been doing it for the past couple years.

Menards, local flooring places, etc?

What type of loan are you in the market for ?

After swallowing some lumps thanks to one thread I posted back in April, I should (crossed fingers, no blown furnaces or sheard off roofs) be in a good position next year to reinvest.This is hopefully not a beat the dead horse, "where is the best cash flow in X" post, more of a strategy question for anyone who knows the market in CT.Here is what my limited knowledge/intuition tells me: Waterbury, Bridgeport, parts of Hartford cash flow best because of the inherent risk, lower fairfield county cash flows worst (today) because of NYC effect on price/rent, and there is an in-between SOMEWHERE.I think that somewhere is in the central part of the state between route 8 and 91 north of new haven, east of waterbury.

But while evictions have many similarities throughout the country, scrupulously following local law and procedure is the key to getting through the process with as little pain as possible.You will probably want to also find and consult a local real estate attorney who does evictions on the process, especially this first time, especially if you suspect you're going to be doing this multiple times in the future.I can't answer your first specific question better than that.

I'm local to the RGV. 

It depends on the market, but in Austin, having a washer and dryer either in unit or in the complex is pretty market standard.
