I am planning on not resigning my lease and starting of my RE venture. 

I’ve had several deals like this on the buy side and sell side where the “gremlins” came out and started whispering against my intuitions.  

., (3) gives you viable options and explains the pros and cons of each option and (4) you enjoy interacting with - this should be a relationship, not a transaction.Once you find a few lenders like this (and you should have relationships with more than one), then you can start comparing rates and fees.

This would help save me some money to use on the house that is getting renovated and I wouldn't have any money out of my pocket up front for the duplex except when the mortgage starts.

Find an experienced eviction attorney and start the eviction on the first business day available.

However, given the price points in NYC, I am looking to southern CT so that I can start small for my first project.

A great way to start is by learning how to analyze deals and exploring strategies like buy-and-hold or house hacking.

I am beginning to worry after the recent fires, so I am starting now. 

Happy to share resources or insights that might help as you get started!
