For a small city of about 75,000 residents, Danbury does offer a large variety of culinary choices.You are only a few minutes from a restaurant almost anywhere in Danbury's 40 square mile area. The city has the typically changes found across the country, including Applebees, Chili's, Outback Steakhouse, Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Subway, Wendy's & McDonald's. However, the majority of restaurant's are locally owned & operated. There are plenty of locally owned Italian & Chinese restaurants to be tried. There are a few Indian & Asian restaurants, including Bombay (Pembroke Road), Koo (corner of East Pembroke & Hayestown Rd) & Pho Vietnam (Padanaram Road). There are at least 3 middle eastern restaurants, Hannah's (located along Lake Avenue), Vivianne's (on Tamarack Ave), and Sesame Seed (on West Wooster Street). Unique eateries include the Goulash Place (Highland Avenue) cooks up Hungarian food, Roma's (Mill Plain Road) makes great sandwiches and Green Island Chicken & Grill (White Street) is the place in town if you want Jamacian food. There are also a couple of Portuguese & Brazilian bakeries found along Main Street. High end dining includes Cafe on the Green (on Aunt Hack Road), Ondine (Pembroke Road), Barca (Mill Plain Road) and Kabucki Japanesse Steakhouse (on Mill Plain Road).

With the amount of short sales & foreclosures across the country & in the Greater Danbury Area, it is a good opportunity to pick up some real estate and rent out. There are several different calculators flouting around the internet & in books that have a bunch of different formulas that try to guide you in deciding if it is a good property to rent out or not. Here is a website that I found that is very helpful, because it not only talks about cash flow, but also any change to net worth. This should be not taken as tax or investment advice as you would get from your accountant, tax advisor or personal banker.

Often times, there is a belief that you will get a better deal with a short sale or a bank owned property because it is a distress situation where they need to sell. In my experience at looking at some short sales & foreclosures in the Greater Danbury area, they are priced cheaper than a regular homeowner because the properties do need a good amount of work done to make them habitable to rent out.On top of making the investment properties habitable, it can take several months to close on the short sale & foreclosure properties. You might do better off negotiating with a motivated 'regular' home seller so you can start collecting rent soon.

Properties are not selling for 50 cents on the dollar. The 'good deals' are selling close to around 97% of the listing price. There are even situations of multiple offers. I am still seeing plenty of opportunities for smart investors in the multi family market where buyers should be able to break even every month, if not come out ahead some money every month.

Visit my website & contact me to find out about these great opportunities.
