They don't register condo documents of this nature with the County.

If the early 1960's is too distant a memory or considered irrelevant to today, just look at the sporadic nature of the decisions being made at the moment....one day they give...the next day they take.  

I will plan on getting my RE license in NY because CT is a reciprocal state, meaning I can apply for my CT license once I get my NY license.  

So what I ask of is for some advice on helping me educate myself more on different types of properties to invest in and on how to actually apply the information i read about.

I'm applying for one as we speak.

I arrived to this idea:  Apply for a home loan through a bank for the purchase of the house, and take out a business loan for the renovations.Would this be the best route to take for a newbie with no personal connections?

Where it does count as an inquiry and lowers your score by only 5 points or so is if you initiate a potential lender to check your score, e.g. you apply for any sort of loan.Technically those free sites can provide some value but only if you use it to see how you're doing relative to previous scorings from the same site.

Since you're a newbie w/ a real estate license, good credit and a small amount of cash, you should consider:hang your license w/ a broker that specializes working w/ investorsbecome a master @ learning how to use tools available to realtors that are not available to the general public to source and analyze opportunitiesfind experienced investors looking for deals and partner up to learnfind an investor w/ cash but bad or no credit and partner up on a deal where you can leverage your credit and their cashthe last bullet applies on any strategy.  

I'm a naturally handy hard working guy who is looking to put my mind and work ethic to better use after my 9 to 5 job, which don't get me wrong is a pretty great job.
