The challenge is how to efficiently filter for the best and most relevant information.

I recently heard from my tenant about consistently high water bills—over $1,000 each month.

In the next few months, I'm looking to get a standard CA NAA lease with RUBS included for billing the water and sewer, as well as requiring tenants to have their own renters insurance, as that is not something they are currently required. 

Nathan mentioned using a syndication site to push your listing to multiple sites at one time which is also something that I recommend in order to expose your property to as many sites as possible.Some things to consider to maximize the efficiency and giving a perspective resident a great experience from the beginning to having a scheduling link available in your description for specific days and times that you can show the property so that you can capture your leads wanting to tour the property without them having to wait for a response from you and scheduling a one off time.I would recommend investigating in having professional photography taken if you are leasing in a market that has a lot of competition since your photos will have your property stand out and drive traffic.Good luck!

I am very new to this and I am a fish out of water just flopping around trying to figure it out. 

I have been considering joining AAGLA and know they have lease forms and other forms, but it is $199/yr.In the next couple months, I am looking to get a standard CA NAA lease written up with RUBS for water and sewer billing and a requirement for the tenants to carry their own renters insurance policies with $100K or so (if there are recommendations around this please let me know) liability limits.Does the community here have any advice on how best to do this and where I could get a lease form that does the trick?

You can do that much more efficiently via hiring a business coach or working with a mentor. 

Moisture/water/mold is a tougher problem than mice.

My point was: when you grow both by the same percentage, you never create actual efficiencies in operations.  

Because the land already has all the utilities infra that it's needed water, sewer, electricity.
