Developer Contract and Compensation….I need help!

[Prince Conley]

I initially reached out to a gentleman who I thought had a property he was looking to sell. Comes to find out he's a developer looking for investors/partners on the development of two multifamily properties. I have someone that's looking to invest in multi-family developments however I'm not sure how to protect myself before connecting the two and how I should look to be compensated. It's not the usual real estate transaction where you look to receive points or is it? Would love some advice on this.
