You will want to consult with a lawyer.In regards to your last two questions here's some background on what makes a contract valid and enforceable:Offer: A promise to do or not do something within a certain time period Acceptance: A clear and direct statement that all terms and responsibilities are accepted Consideration: A legal and adequate inducement given in exchange for the promise Capacity: The parties to the contract must have the legal capacity and competency to contract Awareness: A party must be aware of the contract Legality: The contract must be legal in the jurisdiction it will be operating in***Not legal advice*** Steps I would take: -Review contract in detail to understand each counterparties responsibilities (if you are not aware)- Email a copy of the lease to each of the tenants listed on the lease and reiterate lease expectations for termination notice, rent payment etc. - If the lease was signed via Docusign (other esign may have same ability) - you can go to the envelope, go to history and view the IP addresses for each action taken.

@Phil SheltonYou would need a civil engineer to provide a drawing to get submitted to zoning and get a permit if it passes zoning is most common This also depends on the road - if it’s a state road forget it as it will take a year to get approved and cost a fortune - if it’s a local road process not as cumbersome but don’t expect this to happen quicklyIn some instances you may have to prepare sight distances etc to make sure it’s safe to add a curb cut

I thought at first it was as simple as drawing a contract, recording deeds and notes.

Many people don't realize that you gain as much or more net worth through debt pay-down, and while it's less liquid than cash flow, over a 5-10 yr hold period it's considerable if you buy in the right areas with the right asset class.

There are other ways to legally raise capital, however, they have some inherent disadvantages making them considerably less desirable for what you’re trying to do.   

Once you do that get several bids...bids will vary considerably.  

Markets have increased considerably over the past 4 years and most of my buildings have also increased in value by about $300,000.
