Reading materials

[Peter R.]

i am interested in learning more about commercial real estate for a possible future investment plan. Are there any forum posts you can direct me toward, user blogs, other websites, good books, etc?

Specifically I'd like to learn more about triple net leases and other lease types I might find here in Dallas, about legal liabilities I might incur, about financing options etc. I am also looking for a good resource to learn a little bit more about zoning, especially in this area. Where can I see how land is currently zoned? How would I go about getting land rezoned?

As you can see I have a lot of questions I'm digging around for a good resource.
