The structure we landed on was as follows:- Fixed Builder fee of $300k (each project varies but are 2-6 units, and 5,000-9,000 total finished sq ft)- Fixed Return on all my initial capital invested of 50% (plus return of 100% of initial capital)- Remaining Profit Split of 60/40 (60% to me, and 40% to him)I understand a lot of this hinges on how accurate the proforma is and how close we can get to actually hitting our development costs estimates, build cost estimates, and sales per sq. ft. estimates.
