Background & Context

3 stories

3.1

Why your jurisdiction may require a rental license you do not have.

A growing number of CT cities require landlords to register rental properties, pass periodic inspections, and pay an annual fee. Penalties for unlicensed operation typically include fines per day and, in some cases, retroactive return of collected rent. The rules apply to single-unit landlords, not just large operators.

Why It Matters

Enforcement has shifted from complaint-driven to data-matching against utility and property-tax records. Many landlords discover they were non-compliant when they receive a back-fines notice years after acquiring the property.

3.2

Why cap rates are a starting point, not a verdict.

A cap rate is just NOI divided by price; it bakes in zero assumptions about the market, asset class, or capital structure. Two properties with identical 6% cap rates can have wildly different risk profiles depending on lease maturity, tenant credit, and capital reserve needs. Cap rate is a quick screening tool, not a buy signal.

Why It Matters

Underwriting purely on cap rate is the most common reason new investors pay above-market prices. The same investors then blame "the market" when their projected returns do not materialize three years in.

3.3

Why due-diligence periods are getting shorter — and what survives the squeeze.

In tight markets, sellers compress diligence windows from 30 days to 7-10. The items that survive a compressed window are the ones with hard external dependencies — title work, survey, environmental Phase I — because they cannot be parallelized further. Inspections and financing contingencies tend to get squeezed first.

Why It Matters

Buyers who try to do the same diligence in 1/3 the time produce lower-quality findings and end up with surprises at closing. Knowing what cannot be compressed is the difference between a clean close and a re-trade.
