Thank you @Nick B.  and

I get possession in the middle of March, so I'll get some better business cards fired up before then. 

I'd like to invite you to our New Haven Real Estate Investors meetup on March 1, 7 to 9pm.

I am a total newbie myself but this is where I am at just after 6 months of learning here on BP and I will be hopefully closing on my first duplex March 4th...

We have a court date on March 17 for forcible entry & detainer.

Band aid approach just does not work in real estate.Tenants = Our retirement treat them right.Alex

What you DON'T want to do is try and be sneaky, work with Lender A on Prop A and Lender B on Prop B, and then at the last minute after all contingencies have been removed, Lender B gets a ping saying you've suddenly got $400k in new undisclosed debt at the last minute. 

I'm closing on a fully renovated property on March 4th, and I have someone interested in moving in on March 7th for a short-term lease.

It was information I needed as the check came from his father in law, (went straight to the back on which it was written), but my only reply was asking if it would be straightened up by the first for March rent.
