About Us

Michael J. Finnegan, Owner | Managing Director, CT City Homes LLC.

I joined CTPOA because, as my wife and I began to scale our real estate portfolio, we realized the importance of having a supportive community to navigate the landlord space in Connecticut. Being a landlord can often make you feel like you're on an isolated island, but CTPOA has provided us with a network of like-minded individuals in all phases of real estate investing and property management. This sense of community has made us feel like we are on a large island with many others facing similar challenges and goals...

Dave Kennedy, Connecticut Landlord

CTPOA is the best! This organization is a "must have membership" for any landlord in Connecticut. They are great at letting landlords know how to protect their property, what type of legislation is on the horizon, education, and much more. I'd be lost without it and am very grateful for the people who put it together and continue to staff the organization.

Stephen Rejniak, Connecticut Landlord

CTPOA is an absolute Godsend. Not only do they provide landlords like myself with the tools necessary to manage and run my rental properties, but they also keep me informed of all legislation, both good and bad, that could potentially affect me as a landlord. Add to that the super-informative webinars and networking meet up’s, and you have an organization that always has your back.

Michael Batista, Connecticut Landlord

Connecticut Properties Owners Alliance (CTPOA) has been an essential ally, providing invaluable guidance and support to property owners across the state. Their expertise and dedication have greatly contributed to the success and prosperity of our real estate ventures.

Annabelle Rozen, Connecticut Landlord

I would like to take this chance to Thank CTPOA for their contribution to my business! I have decided to become a member about 2 years ago and since then, I experience the value they add to my everyday operations on a monthly basis by providing me with constant updates on CT legislature and changes, offering Free Webinars of valuable information and great services to Landlords in general! I highly recommend!

Mahesh Nimmagadda, Connecticut Landlord

Before joining CTPOA, I was in real estate for more than 10 years but never paid attention to Legislation. Never spent time understanding what bills are getting proposed and their impact.

Bob always stays on top of these and provides me necessary insight about the proposed bills and how they are going to affect our business in the long run. He is doing a fine job. This information is helping me a lot. I strongly feel that other landlords should join and go as One Voice to get the attention of legislators. This is what is missing so far. Without hesitation, I would recommend CTPOA to others.

David Landau, REALTOR & Landlord, Newtown, CT

As a Real Estate Professional and a Landlord I am always looking for resources and connections with like minded people. Since joining CTPOA I have taken advantage of their tenant screening service, and both in person and online meetings. Their website also has a tremendous amount of info if you're a landlord. I would encourage anyone who is in the real estate business, or looking to become a landlord to see what CTPOA has to offer.

Lin Yang, Landlord, New Haven, CT

As a small rental property owner and an immigrant, I don't think I would be able to stay in business if I did not join CTPOA. CTPOA not only provides information and resources, regularly hosts free seminars and networking opportunities for its members; it also worked very hard in representing housing providers and property owners in the state housing policy making process. Without CTPOA and its members advocacy, Connecticut might pass more senseless legislations that are destructive to housing industry and to the affordability of housing in CT. I am very grateful to CTPOA.

Robert T. Hinners, Property Owner, Waterford and New London

CTPOA is a great resource to keep you abrest of what is going on at the State Capital regarding pending legislation that will impact landlords if the bills are adopted into law. CTPOA also lobbies the Legislators to try to stop legislation that will negatively impact landlords.

Hong Geremia, Connecticut Landlord

I became a member of CTPOA due to Bob caring about our hometown. Bob, who is very intelligent and knowledgeable, has spent so much of his time sharing and educating property owners on how to become a successful investors as well as a good housing provider. In addition, social events held by CTPOA are great opportunities to meet and speak with other housing providers as well as legislators.

Only regret I have is I wish I had become CTPOA members 8 years ago instead of 1 year ago. Thank you Bob for your help.

Cynthia Lombardo, REALTOR, Coldwell Banker Premiere REALTORS

As a real estate agent I have found CTPOA services and information invaluable. CTPOA has kept me informed of new laws or changes in legislation pertaining to the rental industry. Their classes and webinars address current issues effecting the rental industry. An absolute necessity if you have skin in the rental business no matter your part. Their newsletter is informative, and their vendor list provides contacts with proven results. In my opinion every landlord, agent, attorney & management company should strongly consider becoming a member. If you are working in this industry it's a NO brainer.

In Connecticut, rental property owners have formed a network of professionals who are dedicated to improving business conditions for the property owner community.

We know one of the solutions to improve the conditions for rental property owners involves creating an active and powerful trade association with a strong voice in government that is both heard and understood by our elected officials.

Currently landlords face numerous issues as individuals but working collectively we can overcome many of them; CTPOA says…“United We Stand and Divided We Fall, One Landlord At a Time,”

The Alliance goals are to help property owners;
