Developer Joint Venture for new Starter

[Oyin A.]

I have a small rental portfolio in B class neighborhoods in the Northeast, and now looking to get into small size (16 units a year) development projects in the South Jersey/Philadelphia market.

The goal is to build and sell 12 months.
Since development is new to me, I need some guidance from experienced developer. I can sort out the financing and willing to pay a commission or have some kind of agreement to pay this developer mentor for his semi-active guidance on my first (and if all goes well) subsequent projects.
