Memphis Investment and Rent to Retire both have inexpensive turn key property options. I am in the investigation stage for both so I can't give you direct experience but good luck!

 Yeah, I don't want to be a Rockville slum lord unfortunately because that's where almost all the inventory seems to be.

That would be my father ;)

Yes... personal closeness and some family reasons. Ultimately some of my renters may be my kids so I wanted them to have a shorter commute to jobs. Tolland (the town not the County) is also considered to be a little nicer than Vernon (though also a little more rural) so it would be a different type of renter generally.

Thanks Scott I will!

Hey all, I'm new to this so forgive me if my terminology isn't great. We are looking for our first investment property in the Tolland County area, especially in/close to Vernon (where we live). I'd like to talk to other owners in the area because I know there are absolutely some areas that need to be avoided. The problem is of course that most of the multi-families for sale that I've found are in those areas :). I've seen a lot of activity and chatter about the coast (New Haven, Bridgeport, etc) and obviously around places like Storrs but not so much for my general area. Is there any "local" REI group that meets where I might be able to learn? Thanks!

Glad to find this thread... I have a call tomorrow with REI so I was poking around for some real world commentary.
