Real Estate Tips:
Sometimes the best investment is your own venture. If you are not comfortable with the world of finance and big spenders, then invest in something like real estate that you can improve and resell. This is especially wise if you have skills that are needed to improve a property to increase it's resale value. Investing in real estate is one way to earn a return on your money as long as you choose your property wisely and purchase at a fair price. You can purchase a home and sell it when it increases in value. You can also purchase rental properties that provide you with an income, although you must deal with the headaches of being a landlord. Investing in real estate investment trusts (REITs) is another way to invest in real estate without having to actually own a physical property.

Grew up in Hartford when it was nice. Now it’s the armpit of Connecticut.
So much history most people say Hartford is no good but this gives me a different perspective
Hartford's a shelter city 🏙️
I saw the XL Center from the image of the skyline! Go huskies!
