New Britain Connecticut BPers, Experiences?

[Mark A.]

Hi all,

I've been thinking about brancing out into New Britain in Connecticut. I just wanted to know from any fellow CT BPer's what their experiences are?

I know its been coined "Hard hitting New Britain" for a reason so I was just curious. The deals here definitely cash flow versus trying to find a cash flowing property in West Hartford.

I would love to hear some advices before I jump into someting I might regret...

Thanks all!

I'd echo what's been said above: NB varies widely. Do your due diligence.

There are some areas that are lovely.  I'm renting in NB right now in a pretty nice neighborhood.  The price was right and the landlord is a friend of mine who's been investing for a long time. He owns multiple properties here.  

On the other hand, there are places in NB I wouldn't go anywhere near. 

There are deals to be had, but not all that looks like a good price really is.  Some houses are real dogs, and some neighborhood are totally unsafe.
