Post: Adding Bedrooms in Connecticut!

@Jaysen Medhurst

Thank you for the great insight! Very much appreciated. The rooms itself will need its own 2nd egress, right?

Currently there are a few typical basement windows and a basement door leading to the outside. I would aim to put two rooms in the basement, so curious if I’d have to convert the existing basement windows into escapes or if I could somehow link the rooms to preexisting door.

Hi BP Community!

I have targeted a property in Bridgeport, CT with the hopes of renting it to college students at Sacred Heart University. I have currently put an offer in. In order for the deal to work for me as an investment, I would need to convert some of the living space into bedrooms. I am trying to figure out where to look to see what is legally required to add a bedroom to a house and CT and what would legally classify it as a bedroom. Any input from you guys would be greatly appreciated! Also, one of the bedrooms i hope to add will be in the basement, which is already finished and has a separate egress. Thanks in advance.

Best,

Mat

Good Morning BP Community,

I currently own a condo in Portsmouth, NH and currently seeking a multi family to grow my portfolio. I am based out of Boston, MA and have heard of fellow Bostonians investing in Providence and RI in general. I am currently learning the market.

Are there any Providence RI investors on here hey could provide some insight on the area?

Does anyone have an RE agent that they would recommend that deals with investors and works in the Providence area?

Happy 4th. Thanks for any help that you could provide.

Best,

Mat

@Philip Ganz I've never attended one yet, but I'd love to help get one going

@Enis Shehu I hope the meetup went well! Unfortunately I was not able to make it today due to previous engagements. If there is ever another event I'd love go.

@Dan K. Thanks you! Just shot you a PM with the details!

@Philip Ganz Are there none currently in Boston Proper? Maybe one needs to be set up!

I have seen some past events in Waltham, and the one today that I couldn't make it to in Brighton.
