New landlord need advice

[Brian Alvarado]

I am closing on my first property tomorrow and I am not 100% confident.i been watching a lot of videos and was going to attend a class but it was cancelled.

It is a tiplex in new haven ct I would be living in the first floor.

Should I find a real estate lawyer to consult with and get leased done..

People give me ideas please.affordable ones thanks

@Brian Alvarado are there currently tenants in place or will you be filling the other units?  If there are tenants in place there should be an existing lease, if not you will need one.  If you need one you could check with the closing attorney or you could ask other investors or real estate professionals in your area who they would recommend as a good real estate attorney.  If you know other investors you could ask them for a copy of their lease but I would still have it reviewed by a competent real estate attorney.
