@Pooja Jadhav you have every right to show the property to prospective tenants, especially since you have given requisite notice. I'm with Sam Eddinger on this one: for future leases be even more explicit with the language you use.

Have you considered a property manager to help with these items? There a bunch of strong options locally and they can alleviate a lot of these headaches. PM me if you want to chat more.

Hi James - how long have you been employing this strategy? And was it trial by fire? Or did you educate yourself first?

@Jairo Montezuma How'd this work out? Were you able to figure it out?

The best thing you can do is to get in touch with a few lenders and walk through your specific scenario. Any good lender will be able to guide you to what will work for your specific situation. Feel free to DM me and we can set up time to chat 1-on-1 more about this.

@Jason Brown Welcome to the community! I'm glad you jumped on here. It seems like you've taken a lot of the steps to educate yourself and you're ready to take action. I'm a CT-based real investor, property manager, and real estate agent. While my local marketplace is the Greater Hartford region, I serve clients all over CT. 

DM if you'd like to connect! You'll find lots of value on these forums.

@Sam Ojo Sounds like you've made a lot of positive moves that have resulted in you having options at this point. While the trucking business may not have worked out like you wanted, I'm sure you've learned lots of lessons. My 2 cents: it sounds like you've got to pick a lane and stay in it, become an expert, and level up in that lane. If you want to build out a portfolio of multi-family rentals that cash flow to the point of not having a W2, that's one thing. If you want to start a fix & flip business that allows for bigger returns but bigger risk, that's another. If you're looking to buy bigger buildings that's another ball game altogether.

My advice: what investing do you feel most confident and excited about? Build a team out that will help support you in hitting your goals and get cranking!

Hey @Michael Klick and welcome to the community! It sounds like you've done a lot of the preparation work required to hit the ground running. I second what has been said about using a HELOC to help fund your purchase and rehab. Part of the reason we have that equity in our homes is to tap into it and turn it into even more wealth. I have a number of clients who have leveraged their equity to purchase a 2nd - or 10th - investment property. If you'd like to connect more, DM me or respond here! I live right in Glastonbury and I serve the greater Hartford area.

Hi @Jeremy H Barton and welcome! Congrats on the pending closing! I'm an agent, investor, and property manager. This community will offer you so much value - don't be afraid to drop your questions here or reach out to any of the folks above directly. Let me know how I can help!

@Anthony Acosta welcome to the community! I live in Glastonbury and many of my clients are buying and selling in East Hartford and the surrounding areas. I second all that has been said above - all of those folks referenced have been really helpful to me and have added lots of value to so many BP community members, especially in our local marketplace.

Welcome to the group @Chris Merchant! I'm located in Glastonbury, so anything in Greater Hartford area and east, please give me a shout and I'd be happy to lend a word or two of advice. I second @Samuel Eddinger's point about meet-ups: go! You'll get so much value out of them!
