8. Investments in Joint Ventures

Our equity investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, which we account for utilizing the equity method of accounting, consisted of three discretionary investment funds (collectively, the "Funds") at December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, with our ownership interest ranging from 20.0% to 31.3%. In March 2015, we completed the formation of a third fund with an unaffiliated third party for additional multifamily investments of up to $450.0 million. We have a 20.0% ownership interest in this third fund, and it did not own any properties in 2017, 2016, or 2015. We provide property and asset management and other services to the Funds which own operating properties and we may also provide construction and development services to the Funds which own properties under development. The following table summarizes the combined balance sheet and statement of income data for the Funds as of and for the periods presented:

(3)	Equity in income for the year ended December 31, 2017 includes our ownership interest of the hurricane related expenses of approximately $0.4 million.

The Funds in which we have a partial interest have been funded in part with secured third-party debt. As of December 31, 2017, we had no outstanding guarantees related to debt of the Funds.

We may earn fees for property and asset management, construction, development, and other services related to joint ventures in which we own an equity interest and may earn a promoted equity interest if certain thresholds are met. We eliminate fee income for services provided to these joint ventures to the extent of our ownership. Fees earned for these services, net of eliminations, were approximately $5.8 million, $5.3 million, and $5.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively.
