Bristol, CT good for rental properties?

[Victoria James]

Hi everyone,

I am located in NJ right by the George Washington bridge. So I know nothing about Connecticut. My fiancé is going to graduate from college next Year and is looking for a job at ESPN. I have a couple of questions regarding Bristol,CT. Is it safe? Why is it so cheap? How are the school systems? Has anyone had any luck owning rental properties in Bristol? Do you recommend getting a rental property in a town close by?(I prefer a town more south of Bristol) Thanks so much!

@Victoria James I have 12 units of rentals in Bristol. The town like any others has good and bad spots. I am looking to grow my rentals in the town. If this is a house hack the Southington is closer to the highway, has a nice walking biking trail, and good schools. For investments I would do Bristol.
