@Brian J Cook, I have difficulty with your "at the same time" comment.

What does that mean for your house if there has been meth use or someone cooking meth in your house?

Just food for thoughtTry to locate a copy of the lease or a bank statement with her deposit on it as others have mentioned.Best of luck.

Could look at Food Truck rental spots. 

I don't know Orange County too well to answer your questions, so will just add a few other tidbits as food for thought. 

When I'm not listening to podcasts or doing something business related, I am usually outside, dancing, or learning how to make some tasty new food! 

I wanted to avoid all that since that (i am assuming) will make things complicated for me not to mention the timely payment of rent.i am in Chicago cook county and in loop..

@Rob Ibarra No matter where you look, start with the zoning and make sure you can have a food oriented business at the property. 

You have $606 after tax dollars to spend on the rest of life's expenses, including investing, buying flowers for your significant other, cell phone bill, water/electric/vehicle expense/food/childcare/hair cuts/vacation. 

It's like asking what the best food is.
