@Bill BrandtI'm not sure I'm following your logic.

The next logical step for me is to start a fund, but that is a while off and a few more results away from being a viable reality.

I have looked at RS Means, and Core Logic, but I was hoping someone has actually built a single building in the last year and could give me a little guidance. 

(around 5,047 annually for 2024 based on their calcs)That is comforting to find out in the short term and this does seem more logical.

This was my choice for several reasons:1) Making a mistake hurt, but it is twice as bad when it hurt someone else too.2) I did not want an audience (critical partners) as I was finding my own footing.3) I went into RE to be my own boss, so having a partner felt burdensome - not freeing.4) In the past, I always took care of partners before me, if there was an issue.
