We are looking for recommedations for agent/broker/realtor in the Fairfield County Connecticut area.

Wanting to build a relationship with someone who understands REI. Our first goal is to invest in a multi family and house hack for at least a year, probably using FHA loan if possible.

What better way to really get involved and committed than having to actually live with/in my first investment.

Hi @Jonathan Makovsky

Thanks for the introduction!

I'm interested in attending your monthly meet up in Fairfield this week. Very new to REI but would like to start networking ASAP.

@William Collins very insightful reply.  You obviously have a pretty good handle on what is happening in Connecticut  I'm interested to hear more about how and where you are completing your BRRRRs.  

@Phil Z. East Rock appears to have some serious potential 

Thanks

Hello Folks,

This is my second post since my forums intro (promises no to prelude every time with a 3rd, 4th, etc). We are looking to purchase our first home/investment with a duplex or greater using FHA loan to start out small on the cash down side of things. How long are we required to inhabit the property in order to uphold the terms of the loan before renting out our side or selling and moving on?

Thanks in advance

Hi @Anthony Donaldson and @Raymond B.

Thanks for the welcomes and advice.

I'm glad to be here and very impressed with the vast amount of information available!

Would love to discuss the opportunities that Connecticut has to offer with any of you.  Interested in attending some networking events.

Chris

Thanks for the warm welcomes!

@Danny Wu - thanks and best of luck to you too

@Dave Bolduc- I have been researching the East Rock area as a potential invest location but find the swift changes from neighborhood to neighborhood difficult to judge without knowing the area better.  How are you making out with Branford? That's a great town.

@Dan Leyden - thanks for reaching out, it would be great to meet up.  I will shoot you a PM

Hello All

I have been hiding in the shadows for some time now, faithfully watching webinars every Wednesday night, downloading podcasts to listen in car, and reading reading reading from forums to Kyosaki to John Schaub to BP Beginners Guide to REI and whatever else I can get my hands on.

Huge believer in the power of passive income and the teachings of Tim Ferris. As a result a portion of my earnings are through passive income by implementing the use of Virtual Assistants. I see huge potential in REI with a lot of hard work, both of which I'm very excited to dive into.

I’m in my 33rd year of life and recently left the commercial maritime world in May to continue pursuing my career as a freelance Captain.

My wife to be (in 11 days 3hrs and 4 minutes 37 seconds) and I are looking to start our portfolio with our first property together to be a multi-family in which we live in one of the units for 1-2 years as house hackers and then continue to build with BRRR. I spoke with a mortgage lender from Chase and was told that I need to show 3 years of steady income on my own which may make the lending process a tricky one. We both have great credit.

In the mean time I have been active scrolling listings and making calls to gain experience and plugging away at the rental property calculator.

Really looking forward to start networking and becoming an integral part of this community.

Chris
