You have nothing quantifiable for them to put a firm number to.  

That would include getting you to articulate in detail what you want in a quantifiable manner, obtaining your current financial documentation, reviewing it, becoming familiar with the details of your current financial situation, analyzing alternatives to get you where you want to go, develop risk mitigation strategies, present the information to you, obtain feedback, make adjustments, produce action items for both of us, execute the action items, follow up, and (of course) document it all so the next time the Commonwealth regulators stop by I can prove to them I am not stealing from you.What's a fair price for that work?  

And what other factors should I look at (especially anything not quantifiable)Thanks

It may be hard to quantify relationships and education or opinions of others, it may not seem relevant at the time, but you can't really say it will never be relevant.Have you used the functions available to pro members to advance your business?

Like Brian above if I quantified it in Dollars I am right up there with him in dollar amounts of deals done. 

Whether 8-10% is attractive would depend on how likely it is that the manager would be able to pay the preferred, which I'm still trying to quantify -- hence my latest question on what the expected gross return for the asset class is.The main reason I wanted to evaluate funds with a split is because based on what I've seen, you're taking the same amount of risk whether you're just getting a preferred or a preferred with a split. 

(No) Interestingly enough, that would likely occur with the gold toilet house.All the houses in a neighborhood aren't going to be updated with these systems in the span of 4-6 months.I did not quantify the time in my theory but on your notion of 6 months, I am not sure it would be impossible.

I have a few others that are personal but all of the below are 100% quantifiable.  

Especially if this is a multifamily property, the market rate of the property is based strictly on performance and that is quantifiable.  

Having a way to quantify my knowledge (that doesn't require spending large amounts of money) such as tests was a good way of showing myself that I do know what I am talking about.I'll you what ended up happening, I signed up for a residential real estate course.
