He was very articulate and spoke volumes of details in a clear concise manner in a short 30-45 minute segment. 

I think he's trying to articulate something worth considering. 

But they aren't quite articulating it enough in my opinion.You can both as friends do this together without putting strain on the friendship.And after learning and growing as individuals, putting it together to combine your expertise will just come naturally.Good luck no matter how you choose to play it!!

I'm not the most articulate individual but I'd like to think that I'm well read.

I haven't read David Green's book on out of state investing, but I will, because he sounds super articulate and smart on podcast. 

@Sean SmithWhile not an accountant himself, @Alvin Sylvain gave you an accurate and well articulated answer.

Often for commercial scale projects they are salaried and the companies that hire them are bidding projects.Unless your GC can articulate very, very specifically what and how he / she is providing value, and you can have contractual protection to that effect, you're going to be on the receiving end of a bad deal there.Here's some thought experiments:What if your GC is slow? 

I know I am not exactly the most articulate about this... but I am confused!!
