Look at what other complexes are charging and you should get a good feel of where to start off

That is awesome, congrats on getting started!

The document is pretty explicit with contingencies should anything go sideways along the way though so this helped a lot to keep everyone on task. we've built rapport at this point since we've been in constant communication from when we started but in the beginning, it was a lot of trust in the document.

What I find to be most valuable: Ease of use, cost-savings and efficiency and here's what I mean: If using an interior designer to furnish your rental, they will hand you a list of supplies + furniture to buy and what I was able to do with Minoan is upload that list as a CSV file and then they come back with a quote of all of the items they can fulfill along with their respective discount. 

Appreciation is very much possible, but my question to that is when do the markets reach their peak and prices start to soften up a bit. 

Maybe one the contributors on BP will see your message and start something like that.  

I will add that you definitely do not need to be near your investments, but it makes things a lot easier when you first start off. 

Whether you’re just starting out or you’re a seasoned investor, BiggerPockets has a ton of resources to help you along the way.

I'm starting out doing redeemable tax deeds and going to auctions where everybody has "bigger pockets" than I do.

You're off to a bad start if you must create a poor perception of other options to make your concept look good.
