You need a siteplan to be able to layout your interior.Easy storage software is good, getting expensive, but there is no replacement for on site management. you need boots on the ground even if not onsite all day. 

Is the lack and almost nonexistent communication grounds for the PM voiding their part of the agreement?

I am looking to break ground Q1 of 2022.

Yes, I have in the Laundromat business for the last 7 yrs and I built a laundromat from the ground up as well.

Putting money in a hole in the ground isn't a good investment.

This past year I have now begun to sell a few buildings, working towards my first ground up development and launched my new website for X Plus Real Estate! 

They absolutely can completely offset your utility bill depending on your usage and the roof space and orientation (or land space if ground mounted).NO HOA can prevent solar.

Any friends or family in the area willing to be your boots on the ground? 

@Mack BaileyPersonally I think the best way of researching a target area if putting boots on the ground as the term is coined or if you know someone who you trust that has familiarity in this area take a look and see what's going on.

You were expected to be on the ground and handling the  annoying stuff in person.
