These threads are great at identifying the members with tunnel vision. 

Keep working on your folks to shed the "we're homeowners" persona and find them a great rental... you can paint the vision of how they don't have to lift a finger to maintain the place.Good on you for wanting to help family.  

When we bought it, my realtor told me I was "overly optimistic" for thinking I could rent it for  $850-$1,000/mo---  so don't let other drag you down when they doubt your vision.    

Companies like Vision Property are getting sued left/right, and they are in the news often about  preying on consumers.Good luck,  but just be upfront with what you're doing.

Vision boards placed so you can see them everyday.  

I know I have the vision, just need the knowledge and education.  

My vision is to own a company that invests in large apartment complexes (150+ units), property development, and in house property management.

My vision may be greatly skewed, which is why I am here to ask these questions.

You should already have researched what the comps look like in fit & finish and have a design vision.  

Am I still able to turn my vision into reality?
