@Robert Obniski what was the final outcome?

As investors we need to deliver a concise message of what we're looking for in an investment to agents and brokers we come into contact with during our travels.

I can't talk about rental collecting drama.I will let you guys know about the outcome (final price).

On top of that there is a plethora of ways to invest in real estate and there are probably hundreds of different ways to analyze property investments and project outcomes.

This deal definitely took longer than expected at 10 months but that's exactly why you always over estimate timeline, costs, and potential issues that way you over deliver in both the time and results to your partners or lenders.

An agent has additional aspects to address, does the deal have the same out come as a net listing?

In your agreement I would provide for a certain level of ongoing monetary compensation but reduced compared to what you would pay out normally to a GC so that the contractor becomes vested in your project and the financial outcome or results of the project, In time I would ask the contractor partner to become more greatly vested in the projects, in other words put their own money into the projects from start to finish.
