However, I'm interested in more detailed guidelines regarding the specific categories of expenses and income, as well as any operational assumptions you might advise.For instance:General and Administrative Expenses: How do we determine if costs related to software, credit card fees, office supplies, etc., are reasonable based on the size (square footage) of the facility?

You can find sites that charge $.60 - $1.25/card. 

I always tell myself - “I’ll start connecting when I’m more experience” when in reality, reaching out and laying my cards out might be just what I need. - I’d love to get some thoughts on my situation.

THAT signature is GOLD, so you must have it on the report card, and I would simply use it as proof.

When I have had this situation, I communicate well expressing the urgency on my part, provide access to another unit (if I have a vacancy nearby), and may give them a gift card or something for their trouble.

I am familiar with contracting and flipping, but not so much with having a partner and "showing my cards" so to speak.  

Offline includes doing yellow letters, post cards, bandit signs, news paper ads, etc.There's an abundance of material on BP regarding all the methods I've mentioned, so just type in the search box which method you'd like to learn more about and learn that method really well before trying other forms of marketing. 

Also, free signs, leads, business card layouts, and website (currently beta).

Before you go, get some business cards from VistaPrint (nothing special, just name, phone number, and email) so you can hand them out to people at the meetings.

Meet the players, introduce yourself, get to know them, ask for cards, take them out to lunch.
