New investor from CT

Aaron Hawthorne
  • Hamden, CT
Posted Feb 5 2016, 06:44

Hi BP community,

My name is Aaron Hawthorne, I'm an engineer in the southern Connecticut region and I am new to real estate investing. After spending quite some time researching the basics of real estate investing, primarily through bigger pockets, i've generated a general map of where I want to take my investing and how I will reach my goals. My preference is to acquire value add multi family properties for long-term cash flow in the metro New Haven area.

Currently, I'm doing the groundwork for my first deal, I.e. talking to lenders, viewing properties and also looking for partners.

I would just like thank the guys at BP and the community for making all of this information available and showing such willingness to share experience with fellow investors.

Take it easy

Welcome @Aaron Hawthorne to the world of REI!!!

I am a local agent and investor that specializes in multifamily property and would be more than happy to help and show you around. I am based primarily out of Fairfield County but I am always willing to travel. If you need a hard money lender I can help with that as well.

Best,

Thanks guys,

@Michael Kovac sounds good, I am looking for HMLs so a good reference is always welcome. Can you pm your contact info, and we could discuss further.

@Jacqueline Carrington, I was sitting next to you at the meetup - I was the guy with the north face jacket.
