Look at a guy names grant cardone and listen to audio books, the rich dad poor dad series. 

I would obviously like to get my tenants secured and locked up in writing as soon as possible but issue is I don't have formal land use permits as of yet nor have I started the process - all I know is that QSR/coffee shop/drive thrus are allowed according to the zoning code.

@Chris Roche I don't think so- just first last security and key deposit 

Unless you want to have an in depth foundation of modern value investing, Security Analysis is overkill because it doesn't have much in it about REI that you won't get from The Intelligent Investor. 

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

@Grant Rothenburger Thank you!

adverse possession is pretty tough.. and rarely granted.. and if so its generally to neighboring landowners.

I am going to start a significant remodel of my house in Santa Monica and wanted to maximize all possible rebates, grants or energy rebates that are available for new roofs, windows, appliances, insulation, landscaping..ect.I have a basic list (local municipality and appliance rebates) but didn't know if there was anything that I was missing or didn't know about...possibly other agencies?

Granted, my experience is with a small sample size.I guess this is another way to drive up prices for the average buyer - I don't see how it's creating "more competition", except on the buy side.
