First Time Investor
Hi everyone! My name's Brian, I'm looking to purchase my first investment property in CT. My goal is to acquire it by the end of 2025. Ideally looking for a 3-4 family in Stamford, Norwalk, Fairfield, Stratford, Bridgeport(Black Rock or near Sacred Heart) Also open to a side-by-side duplex. Open to fixer uppers! Mainly looking to add as much equity as possible given the returns in the current market.
A little more about me, I'm a real estate agent based here in Stamford. I've been in the business for almost 9 years, I had my biggest year in 2024. Which also turned out to be my most difficult year after experiencing major health complications and surgery in October. I was out of work for about 8 months while in recovery, now I'm back to work and looking for more balance in life. My goal is to switch gears and go all in as an investor in the next 5 years. Having extra cash flow would help alleviate expenses and bring more peace of mind. I have a good network of contractors, investors now I just need to find the properties.
If anyone has any insight on any properties that match the criteria mentioned above, even if it's in an area outside of the ones listed, let me know!
Thank you!

@Brian Barran - welcome to BiggerPockets. I'm an investor, property management company owner, flipper, and private lender. I started back in 2012. We love buying properties to flip from wholesalers.
My partner and I are flipping a 3 family in Stratford currently. I think it is a great market, as are the other markets you listed.
I'd love to connect. DM me if interested.
