Hannah Hammond explains how architects and developers can acquire equity in commercial real estate projects without using their own capital by contributing sweat equity—finding deals, handling rezoning and assemblage, doing architecture and construction, and managing the project. She says developers can negotiate equity shares (examples cited: ~10%, ~20%, ~25%) in lieu of cash, allowing large upside from their services and deal-making instead of personal capital.

Approximately 10%, 20%, and 25% ("maybe 20%, 25%, 10%" — depends on the deal).

Chapters

So this is how millionaires buy commercial properties with none of their own money. I actually know many architects and developers who are able to get equity in commercial projects, massive commercial projects, or small commercial projects by bringing sweat equity to the deal. If they are able to find the deal, do the rezoning, do the assemblage of the land, do the architecture work, do the construction, as the developer they can negotiate a percent equity, maybe 20%, 25%, 10%. Just depends on the deal. But this is a way they can really bring in their services, bring in their unique ability, find the deal, manage the deal, and get equity of the deal and a huge upside without putting any of their own capital in.
