Hi, i’m fresh out of high school and my father and I want to start a realty business together. we’re years off of actually doing that, but i have zero knowledge of anything real estate related.

I'm just starting out and I found a freshly-rehabbed property the seller is selling for $45k.

You can use the Blumberg A-55 'New York Apartment Lease' these are standard forms that you can buy online or any stationary store (probably cheaper since they sell them loose)...I own two NY co-op rental and use it in both...another alternative if you work with an agent is using REBNY form which is very similar and would agent probably suggest with no charge to you.In addition I follow my old landlady (an RE Agent) practice of supplementing it with a rider (copied hers) in which I stress/modify/add term which are important for me (for example that tenant cannot Airbnb the apt).The co-op is a company which have their own interest which not necessarily align with yours...it just happen that sometime they allow you as a shareholder to sublet your unit.
