I am trying to develop the properties as the caliber of tenants in the neighborhood progresses.

I develop towers throughout the US and I could probably help you with some of your questions/concerns.  

I am hear to develop relationships with others on similar journeys in the hopes of sharing the good and the difficult of real estate investment. 

BP was high on the list of referred resources for my developing as a pro.

A small developer I know has proposed a partnership that's pretty intriguing but I'd appreciate some opinions on it. 

Details: North SJ, near the future BART station, town home, 2BD/2.5BA - 2 master bed rooms, low HOA and well maintained, near future developments and another town home complex to be built nearby, ~1100 sq. feet, decent school district (Piedmont High School, 4/5, 10/10 on Redfin), 1 car garage and 1 carport w/a private patio, close to Target and other shopping areas, laundry downstairs and in the building.

If we can't develop a guideline, then I will just be beating around the bush with this one.
