As long as notice was given of the exempt status?

I met with the contractor Sanborn Construction Group but being out of state wanted to see if anyone had worked with them in the past and could give a refferal good or bad. 

I have no prior experience in real estate, however, am fortunately enough to have access to sources of income besides a fixed job salary that provides me additional CF and a long-term safety net.

I am glad to hear that you’ve had good anecdotal experiences with your ventures though.

This past year has been my second year managing a long term rental, first time dealing with awful tenets.

I have a few really good attorney recommendations in the state of ohio that can help - happy to send them your way. 

New York recently passed the “Good Cause Eviction” which protects tenants from eviction without legitimate reason.

I'm wondering where a good place to start to create this new lease, any help would be greatly appreciated!

 @Constantinos ZavosI had a lot of good experience with Yellow Letter HQ, OLM is good too. they suggest multiple styles of templates for you to use.

But the fact is, in the long term, if you own property then your money has a constant and safe return on investment.In a bear market, investors worry about the value of their investments.
