I'm in the Houston area and looking to list my property as a midterm rental before going the traditional lease route.

Study and read your local lease templateRead, read, read.Watch youtube videos online of some basic building and construction.

I've been working with job titles like construction project manager, who doesn't know a lot about construction but coordinates architects, engineers, GCs etc, the VP of RE management, who also does not know a lot about construction but oversees site selection, lease negotiations, property management, RE accounting who writes my checks and does annual CAM audits, and other jobs like that.

Yes, the lease would stay in place regardless of who is managing the property. 

I now have a 6-month lease signed with a tenant, am avoiding higher vacancy during this recessionary period, cut out 19% of expenses, and have far less headaches.

Hello all,What do folks use as lease generators and reference material for other rental-related forms?

Both signed the lease, so I think I split it in half and give it to both and let them go fight it out.   

If they do, it's a lease violation.

If allowed by the city, grade gravel and fence it and then lease it as outdoor storage. 

If they are high maintenance, you can also have a talk with them along the lines of if they aren't happy there, they are welcome to give 30 days' notice and not pay the penalty for breaking the lease.
