Hi @Scott Trench,Are you going to post an archive of the various polls you will be conducting?

You create the lease online, archive it online, and retrieve at renewal time.

@Joe FarkasWelcome to BiggerPockets, a place to interact with a vibrant REI group, learn the real estate business and language.It doesn't matter if you are young or old, totally new or need to build upon your experience.And since you mentioned an interest in rental, flips, buy and hold I added three links to satisfy your reading desire.http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/02/22/buying-rental-property/ (how to buy a rental property)http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2014/01/07/flipping-houses/ (step by step guide to flips)https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2015/01/31/ultimate-beginners-guide-real-estate-wholesaling-2/ (Ultimate beginners guide to wholesaling)Yes, you have just announced a commitment to the thousands in this community about your seriousness regarding REI and have taken this bold step to affirm it.Your time on this site with the BiggerPockets community will be well spent and can be financially rewarding if you so desire.Don't get overwhelmed by the massive amount of data archived on this site.Simply, bone up on the areas that you need to expand knowledge in such as, Forums, Marketplace, Learn, Network, Analyze and Resources.Feast on the Podcasts, #askbp Podcasts, blogs and webinars REI books suggested by BPershttps://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2015/11/13/7-real-estate-books-beginner-investors/ (7 absolute must read books for beginner REIs)http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/04/14/best-real-estate-books/?

Typically, bumping it would bring it back to the forefront of the site with no purpose other than to attempt to revive it while some people are responding without looking at dates or finally find a discussion that they find interesting and revive it that way.The former is annoying, IMO.The latter - less so.We've toyed with some ideas for creating an archive . . . for the moment - it is off the books, but that could always change...

I recommend looking at past editions of the AOA (Apartment Owners Association) magazine on their website:http://aoausa.com/magazine/index.phpYou can scroll down, on the right side they have archived past magazines you can read.AOA is very informative about CA landlord tenant laws, and changes to the laws, but it will be limited to whatever they write their articles about that month. 

A lot of times research has already been done, and going through the archives can be useful.

And since you can not store their data you can't really get historical data (archiving/data warehousing) to see what has happenned with a property over time.Having said all of that...

This appears to be the SEC filing information for thos of you looking for contact information:https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1577977/000131586314000386/xslFormDX01/primary_doc.xml

If they can do it for cows....http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/05/the-perfect-milk-machine-how-big-data-transformed-the-dairy-industry/256423/

Its is more work than most people think.Just search the archives here and you will find many posts of investors badmouthing property managers.
