Once you identify what you can build, you can work out a proforma to capture soft cost, hard cost, fees (building, loan, applications -- the list is long).

I'm exposing my soft underbelly and vulnerability is perceived as "weakness" or even incompetence.

In many cases, they could be snacks and soft drinks.

In my area, we have Tastykakes and soft pretzels.

We then use Google Spreadsheets to track the numbers and then attach the spreadsheets to the Podio project page via soft link.

Does anyone have recommendations on one that they have used and works well, that doesn't get soft around the edges?

I approached him about contributing a portion of their funds early to help cover some of the predevelopment soft costs like geo-tech and architect fees.

I guess what I am wondering about is waht could be called 'soft time' compared to fixing things, doing leases, etc......And for what it is worth, my partners and I are GREAT at tracking time (we use Google's Toggl app) as that if part of how we split profits for the work we each put into our joint properties. 

Soft costs are low for me. 

I would like to get some input from experience land developers on soft cost and also how would you approach this deal if you needed partners to do this deal.
