Appropriate Billing Rate for Freelance Financial Modeling?

Hi all,

Looking to get your take on how much is standard/market to charge for a custom development (ground-up new construction) financial model / proforma analysis?

For context: I've been approached by a small operator/developer who doesn't have the staff for this type of work, so he's asked me to do some analyses (and potentially some initial project management...as much as I can do without sacrificing anything with my actual development job). I am a developer at a national mixed-use apartment firm, but I've never billed/priced this type of work as it's always been done in-house. Trying to get a gauge on what would I should charge.

Any perspective is greatly appreciated! Thanks
