Getting ready to sign my first tenant, need advice!

so I found my first tenant, ran backround check, credit check, all due diligence. Now ready to sign lease.. only problem is, I have no idea what I'm doing. Is there an online lease form that I can download and send to tenant to e-sign? 

1. Is there any wording you can put in to say "no parties"?

2. What other disclaimers, wording should i add in the lease that doesn't come standard in a lease document?

You should use a good lawyer definitely. Worth the money and then you use the same solid form for future rentals. Check out all of the horror stories on here! For example, in some states leases have to have certain exact words or you can owe the tenant a lot of money. Not worth the risk. I would pay once and know you are protected for the future with this tenant and all others.
