If you need a GC in Waterbury, I can recommend two who I have used frequently 

Thank you so much, are they only in waterbury?

 Just network. Interview and find the right pieces. GC is the biggest piece. I would have a couple in your pocket for projects. Find a solid agent for the flip side who can also get you comps and sell the place once it's done. I would also reach out to some hard money lenders, they can help you scale faster. Be careful though, don't take too much on at a time especially when you are learning the fix & flip game

Thank you i appreciate it 
Quote from @Caleb Brown:

I would do another 2-4 unit since you have experience with that. If you can buy a couple then do so. Fix and flip is a good strategy but more moving parts so I would establish a team and take time to understand it. Either way 300K gives you many options so pick one that you like/suits you and focus on it

Thank you so much, I was going to buy and hold and then learn fix and flip. What are some good strategies on building a team?
Quote from @Samuel Eddinger:

@Gabriel Akinyemi - I fix and flip in CT.  I'd be happy to have a conversation to give you some guidance.  If interested, DM me.

Thank you much I appreciate that my next venture would love to connect
Quote from @Micah White:

Sorry to hear that about your property. But you've come to the right place, Gabriel. Honestly, given that the CT market is pretty tight, i'd be curious to hear how much cash you have to put towards your next investment. That would help me come up with a better fit solution for you.


 I have 300k

To make long story short. I brought my first 3 family in 2023 after taking a course on how to do it. In 2025 in January, my house caught fire and it a total lost. . Insurance paid me out, what path  I should consider to maximize?  I was thinking buying a commercial building with 5 or more units. My other options are buying multiple multifamily family ( residential not commercial). I also want to dig into fix and flip and considering short term rentals or insurance for displace individuals or family. Any ideas will be appreciated.  I am looking to do this in connecticut.
