@Brian Alvarado are there currently tenants in place or will you be filling the other units?  If there are tenants in place there should be an existing lease, if not you will need one.  If you need one you could check with the closing attorney or you could ask other investors or real estate professionals in your area who they would recommend as a good real estate attorney.  If you know other investors you could ask them for a copy of their lease but I would still have it reviewed by a competent real estate attorney.
