It would be worth 100k more but it's on a busy street.  

In Connecticut,  filling out real estate contract to buy as an investor, do I need to put my street address or can I use a post office box.    

Hi-I'm looking for duplexes, starting small...What I'm running across are for sale owned by investors that have several duplexes.So, to hone my skills, I decided to "play at the notion of buying" to use what I learned about deal analysis, thanks BP community, to see what I come up with.Today, I ran across a listing from an investor (selling through a realtor) who owns 4 duplexes all on the same street. 

Ok so I am new to REI but have had a couple things close..all with the help of a JV partner who is a broker/investor them self..I have a website which I advertise my business on craigslist and other places which got me 1 that we wholesaled..and found a vacant property we tracked down the owners daughter to and that one wholesaled and then had a person who sells me leads sell us a probate one and that got wholesaled...my partner does all the work as in paper and title/contract/closing ..all of it..im basically bringing the deals and doin the foot work and im a ghost on contract..we split 50/50 ..the money has been great but im to a point where its not enough for me to make my own moves..so rather than waiting for people to call me im looking for REOs and foreclosures and looking for ones that have big equity gaps and when i find one i want to get it then either wholesale or rehab it and do this a few times taking little chunks of money and saving it until i get a goal of 50k...my problem is the money part..i can use my partners private money who is asking 12%annual interest and the money wants 50% of profits ..which would leave the other 50% for me and my partner to split and id probably stay being a ghost and being quiet OR do I just go get my own hard money loan and break away from him and start taking all the risk...no risk no reward i get it but if i continue to do it the way i been doing it then i'll be little more on easy street until my goal is met.  1 down side is time..i think my partner is treats me more like a option rather than a priority which I understand but I dont get questions and things done as fast as i think they should get handled. what do you guys think?

The whole Street is currently undergoing a major re-development right now, in the last 3 months there have been 2 major Condominium Developments one block from me on the same Street.  

Although training and mentors are great nothing is given to you, you need to hit the streets and make it happen!

You do need to be selective with who you tie up with or you'll be spinning your wheels.You know more about RE than 90% of the people walking the streets, you'll demonstrate that passing your test.

Oh but the family drama that went on after that, how cold hearted I was for kicking them to the street with a baby and all, never mind they cost my father part of his retirement income forever & their friends in the other apt created problems till they got out the next month.  

I'd suggest driving around to get an appetite for the area: it's definitely a street-by-street sort of thing.As I've said elsewhere, I feel like the market here has heated up quite a bit in the last ~3 months, so it's been hard for us to find good deals, but maybe things will calm down in the winter.

That area can have streets that cater to college students closer to Sloan and also very poor and dangerous streets closer to route 62, Bailey Avenue.
