So in his mind you need to put high end finishes in a duplex versus basic finishes in a detached single family, but then this becomes an apples to oranges comparison.The only real way to know is to have plans drawn up and get actual bids based on those plans.  

There are also many significant businesses coming to the area or expanding, including TSMC, Intel, Amazon, Apple, etc.

We all don't care how much Apple profits on our iPhone... what really matters is the product or value we get or in this terms the ROI on our principal.The fees can be broken down in the three main fees (so you might have to combine some of the above fees under one of the categories below):Acquisition fee (paid % of the asset price) - normally 1-3%Asset management (paid % of the income the asset produces) - normally 1-3%Distribution or exit fee (paid % of the sold asset price) - normally 1-3%Development fees (this is present in development deals) - exampleNOTE: Just because these fees are high or the split structure has too much going to the GP does not disqualify it.
