Request rental payment verification as well as lease documents.

hello everyone i need a little help in starting out in my real estate investing business, well first of all i've read multiple books, posts, listened to multiple audio CD's, and have talked to lots of others at my local REI club, now i've done all this and have only made a little progress.now i understand the concepts behind how all of the different creative real estate strategies work (subject-2's, lease options, OF, wholesaling and etc), but the problem i'm having is that i don't know or have the paperwork/contracts that are needed to preform these strategies, (or know or have the supporting paperwork needed as well).now when it comes to getting the paperwork/contracts i figure i have three options, 1- purchase some real estate program for a $1000 or so, 2- hire an attorney to draft these contracts for a couple thousand, 3- use forums like this and network with others that are willing help and send them to me for freenow i know some contracts i will need an attorney to look over and make some small changes to to make the contracts legal for my state or county, so my second question/concern is does anyone know of any tactics to keep the cost down when having an attorney work on your contracts

The hope here is to to just that.

No verification of experience, no criminal background check, no verification of education, no citizenship check, etc?

They would pay the application fee, submit income verification.
