@Zach LemasterHi Zach,Do you mind if I DM you?

So, that is a key item to keep in mind when doing an analysis is what the slope is of diminishing production. 

Do you  mind me asking what the size, and bd/ba, of your place is?

I could not find any details that confirm that online. 

For expenses like utilities, property tax, and insurance, I estimate a 3% yearly increase.However, keep in mind that if you do renovations in the first year, it’s likely you won’t need the full 5% repair allocation for the first or even second year.

You mentioned that you're not interested in grants or fundraising, I'm curious what type of operating budget and actual program you have in mind.

And if the people you're working with aren't giving you the peace of mind that everything is being done correctly, send me a message and I'll get you taken care of.

Challenge is that I have an exclusive agreement with the seller because they wanted to list it, but changed their mind.  

However, if you know and have a relationship with the person/team that will be doing the rehab for you in your absence and trust they have your vision in mind then you are in a better place to start.
