Real Estate Investment Fee Deduction?


I paid a 2% origination fee to a real estate investment company under a joint venture/consultative services agreement to find discounted pre construction property in which they bulk buy up to 30% of developers units at a 15% discount to initial retail price and sell to investors that would result in a built in initial high equity position, which could then be sold back on the market at a higher price to turn a profit when construction is completed in which both the real estate company and myself split the profits 70%/30%. The joint venture partnership agreement stipulates that at completion if subsequent buyer is not found, real estate company will come in and pay 6 months of mortgage costs. This 2% is paid when purchasing the property. Is this 2% fee deductible in the year it is paid as a miscellaneous expense or have to be added to cost basis to calculate capital gains when property is sold at completion?
