My introversion became a great strength to create very deep, real, authentic relationships very quickly.  

I have a job that provides me a good salary and I want to invest my spare time building wealth through real estate.I want my first property to be near my home on the Upper West Side of Manhattan or my summer home on Shelter Island on the east end of Long Island.I’ve drilled deep on Ridgewood Queens.

There can be some land mines like what Barry mentioned lurking deep in your deal you don't know about yet.

It was supposed to simplify things and at nearly 1500 pages that doesn’t seem to be the case but still lots of much needed change.I am not holding my breathe either but the noise from council and the committees is that they are going to get it done and fast.  

You might be able to find a lender that does a shorter seasoning period, @Boone Bergsma, but don't hold your breath. 6 months is standard.

I also would need to line some deep pocket investors as I can find the deals but would not want to leverage my huge lines of credit like I used to.

One breath can kill a person. 

How deep is the market for investors who will buy leased townhomes (new const.) for the cash flow only? 

Sorry for the psychoanalysis but you serious sound just like me...lol I’ve learned to take a breath, put all this on a board or some notes and walk away, come back and if it still makes sense make a move.

If you're questioning this strongly and this deep into the process whether or not you need a lawyer, you 100% do.
