if its bad let me know, and perhaps can you tell me an area that you think is better in CT.i think i found a deal, the numbers bring at least 250 CF every mo, and it even seems like the neighborhood is good.any help would be Appreciated!

every area is differentand in my experience real estate is all LOCALi have find great properties that work..but bad properties only a few block away that don't work. your knowledge in area is a big plus...as for lender or buying whole in cash. i have to say.. do what is right for you. don't listen to others about lenders or banks. its all with the individual.... if you don't feel comfortable...buy all in cash. as for me...i like to leverage since its a form of asset protection and great return for your money. thankssunsmicro

too bad they didn't decide to show up for the game.

Not a bad idea but will the house sell in 6 months for what you are willing to sell and have you taken into account the transaction costs (including a prepayment penalty).

The washer and dryer are also in this bathroom.First I want to know how bad that would effect me in trying to sell the house if I fixed it up.

I thought that a $200 profit monthly wasn't too bad of a return for just starting out.

And fortunatly Im an only child still not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing.

And make sure you buy at a big enough discount that you can live almost rent free when its fully occupied, that way your income won't be quite so necessary and can be held for bad months when you have vacancies, etc.

That is just wrong and if they continue at that rate, they will get a bad reputation very quickly.
