I like owning where I do because while it won't cash flow like the midwest or appreciate like California, people have wanted to live here, and have done so, for close to 400 years now.That said, I work in technology.

In the next 10 years I see the city emerging in two fields - technology and medicine - due to our inexpensive labor pool and land costs.

I'll detail more about the project below but wanted to lead with my goals in posting.TLDR;  Interested in links, advise, discussion, warnings, etc for proactively anticipating the next steps involved in planning, designing, constructing and managing large development projects from a General Partner and Owner's Agency role.The general state:- Partnered with owner contributing wholly owned lot with appropriate zoning for ~18 story mixed use set of towers (5 in total under current rough plan)- Very qualified architecture team signed on to deliver plan for design process- High level contacts with multiple potential building partners showing interest- Multiple funding options available in line with needs for initial tower's expected costsThe vision:- Emphasis on active community engagement and development- Net positive Electricity, Water and (as much as possible/practical under constraints) Food- Tightly integrated with surrounding environment with funds allocated to remediation and improvements of native ecology and community/pedestrian oriented accessibility- Digital nervous system (I have a technology background) with sensors to drive efficiencies and create digital connections between the various building components and it's residentsThanks to all for providing such a fun community!

In today's world of technology it seems that managing from abroad is easier as long as you educate yourself properly.  

Each row is formatted such that the highest price is highlighted or the lowest price is highlighted depending on the label (i.e the cell with lowest price to rent ratio is green as it is most ideal while the highest GDP is green as that is most ideal).

Thank you  Trey,With today's diversions; iPad, Cell phone, computers and the internet, people are not going to the streets to find deals.

Also, how do these kiosks fit in with the rest of the technology stack?

@Brody Jett Couldn't tag you in the previous post because I was on my cell phon

There are a lot of technology tools these days that make it easier, like Cozy.co.I would still put Property Management fees in your calculations and essentially you'll be paying yourself for operating the units until you decide to outsource it... and don't forget vacancy.Have fun with it!
