Could be a real opportunity! 

My husband and I are looking to buy our first ever real estate investment out of state (we live and rent in NYC. we do not want to buy here due to high cost of properties and high tax rates).

I do not believe the 4 phases of a real estate cycle are applicable at this moment.

@Jitao NiuBeing that it is a local bank - I would make an appointment with a real estate loan officer at the bank and go in and speak with them.  

I have a real estate meetup in Jupiter at the locomotive coffee the second Tuesday of each month from 8:30-10am.  

That is pretty much how I came to the number but please remember this is a real quickie rough estimate. 

From what I've heard some real estate buying agents are moving on to become TC, others are considering the fix & flip business model capitalizing on what they do know and that is locating discounted properties coupled with there knowledge of sales simply need financial backing.

While I might be new to this particular market, my roots in real estate run with a history of commercial real estate investments in India.Currently, I have my sights set on the Hartford market.

Besides this, rather boring, pastime of writing code, I also happen to be extremely passionate about real estate, more specifically multifamily and I decided to launch a new project to develop an MVP of software solution that is tailored to the needs of property managers. 

Hi my name is Marissa and I am new to the real estate world.
