Hello| Thank you a lot. My Cuestion is that you only can apply the promote a posteriori, I mean when the project is finished, because, as I think, during the project life, you only know the cash flow you are receiving each month, but you really don´t know the final IRR of the project until it will be closed ( I mean you sold the property ) so, you pay the basic interest rate each month ( 8% in the example) and then, when you sold or refinance the property, then you really know the amount of profits and you could apply the promote. Is that as I say?
Very good question. Almost always, the preferred return is going to be an IRR, not a cash-on-cash return. This makes sure that the LP receives a return of all capital invested before the GP earns any promoted interest.
Thank you so much for this informational video. I struggled to understand this in my finance class and got so much clarity from watching this video a couple times.
Hey Stavros, this is run through an equity waterfall model in Excel which can get pretty complex, but it's essentially the profit that will get the LP to the 8.0% IRR, and no higher. This depends on the overall cash flows of the deal and the sale timing, as well. For more information on how to calculate this and build this out in Excel on a live deal, you may want to check out this course: www.udemy.com/course/the-real-estate-equity-waterfall-modeling-master-class/?couponCode=BICRETREEWMMC1119
Lets say the cash flow ends up being negative, who pays for it? the sponsor or general partner? or is it a split? Assuming same numbers in your video... thanks!
The sponsor because in a limited partnership only the General Partner(s) is responsible for signing the debt. Unless the LP happens to be a KP which in that case they would be the one guaranteeing the loan
Are you using IRR correctly here when you talk about the 8%? If 8% is the rate required to hit NPV of 0, then isn't the father actually asking for an 8% return (not internal rate of return)? When the father asks for an 8% return on his investment, he is essentially stating that he wants to earn an 8% annual return on the $950,000 he contributed as equity in the real estate property. This is a fixed percentage return on his initial investment and is not the same as IRR?
Great explanation, but I have a couple questions. 1. How did you calculate, how much is calculated at the 8% IRR and how much is calculated above the 8% IRR? 2. Is the split based on a sale of the property or after the property is cash-out refinanced after 5 years? 3. What kind of assurance do you give your "uncle"? (i.e. his name is on the title or loan, maybe a separate business contract)?
Hey Troy, happy to help. 1. The calculation of the profits below and above the IRR requires an IRR calculation in Excel and an equity waterfall model to build this out - I'd recommend course I mentioned in the video (link in description) if you want to get into the details of how to calculate this. 2. Depends on the partnership structure (varies deal to deal), but usually the promoted interest can be earned with a refinance, assuming the LP investor has all its capital returned and hits the preferred IRR. 3. You'll usually enter a JV operating agreement that governs the distributions on the deal, but since your uncle is an equity investor, he will generally have no recourse against the GP if he doesn't hit his preferred return. Long story short, not much assurance. He will just be a part owner of the entity that owns the property.
thank you so much for explaining this so well! I will def sign up for the course. I'm a real estate major and I'm in NYC. I found your videos so helpful. I'm also trying to break into REPE.
I was thinking of studying for MREF or MRED or Certification in both. But having watched your videos I believe that the optimal methodology would be to get a very solid grounding in excel modelling to become an expert in this first, then go further with CCIM Advanced ...then go get a MRED or MREF later on..... As I want to have my own real estate investments, getting a solid grip of the numbers to build a credible plan to convince lenders is the key it would appear. The waterfall model is very similar to the hedge fund model . Get investors in and then charge 1% management and 20% of outperformance keeping the rest. That’s how they get rich.
Great video! Please explain though how you got $1,000,000 in profit? And more importantly, what do you mean by $400,000 in profit up to 8% of IRR? Where I'm confused is, if the Mark invested $950,000, and you said he'd generate an 8% return on his investment YoY that's $76,000.... where does this $400,000 up to 8% come from and what does that even mean? Please explain. THANKYOU!
“Until we hit a 8% irr let’s split the profits 5/95” - How do they know they hit an 8% IRR? If it’s a rental property making like 1% of property value per month from rent how do they know how well they are doing?
I think most investors that use the IRR are value add investors, so they plan to raise NOI/increase property value in some way where they predetermine what improvements they're going to do that can raise it to that 8 percent and over. I think the 1% of property value you mention is just standard ROI calculation and is something more commonly found in Buy and Hold investments where they typically don't tend to chase after aggressive returns.
How do you get paid on a monthly basis, lets say you do a monthly equity waterfall and you've invested 10% of equity and on a levered basis your cash flow is $30k. Sorry if my question doe not make sense haha
Hey Jeronimo, good question and it does make sense. With the way most waterfalls are structured, you’ll only earn 10% of the $30k ($3,000) and you won’t earn any promoted interest until a capital event (sale or refinance). Most structures are based on an IRR target, which requires a return of capital plus a preferred return in order to trigger promoted interest.
Thank You! Just invested in two of your UDEMY Courses! The Real Estate Equity Waterfall Modeling Master Class and The Complete Guide To Multifamily Real Estate Investing. I run a 506(c) and in the middle of the legal structuring right now. I love how helpful this is for almost any skill level. I even want to show my Fiance the course so she can hear it from another voice and be a pro too! Looking forward to tightening up my skills! #RootingForUsAll2Win #FundamentalFourBook
@@BreakIntoCRE Absolutely, I just brought the Pro Forma course as well. After I asked a question on Udemy I realized you had a whole course on it and made the investment.
Hi Justin, great explanation, great video. I just have a quick question. How did you get the 14% IRR (GP) and 40% IRR (LP) at the end? I can't figure out how you got those numbers. Thanks!
Hey Michelle, really good question. I wanted to keep this video as simple as possible, which is why I left out several of the calculations, but it's tough to explain this through text without seeing it in action in Excel. If you want to learn the math behind the GP and LP IRR calculations and how all of this works, I'd recommend checking out the Equity Waterfall Modeling course referenced in the video (link here: breakintocre.com/courses).
The real key to understanding this (should have spent more time on this pt) is that for the promote, the GP gets 30% of the LP’s profits PLUS his original stake 5% of his profits. For a beginner, intuitively one may think that all profits above the pref are split 70/30, but it’s actually split as I described...
Thank you for the video. I am working on a ground up real estate development project and equity waterfalls are what most investors are requesting since they are contributing more of the private equity capital. Is the Excel Spreadsheet that you created available for download..?
Hi ! great explanation. I had a doubt. Is it different for private equity fee structure? I read that in PE you take 30% of the total remaining profits (after deducting hurdle rate) and not just from the LPs share. The rest goes to LPs. GPs share is not considered while distributing profits. Please can you help with this?
How do you know that the first USD 400k are related to the 8% and the USD 600.000 are related to part over the hurdle rate? Was this just an assumption?
Great Video! I am underwriting a vacant 20 unit building that will require some rehab for a 4 year levered hold. With the equity waterfall structure in my scenario, would the LP's only receive funds at time of sale/refinance? Or should they be receiving quarterly/yearly payments once the property is fully stabilized? Sorry if my question doesn't make sense lol Thank you for your content!
Hey Josef, this will all be spelled out in your Operating Agreement which I don't know the details of, but in a traditional waterfall structure the LP would receive its pro rata share of the cash flow once the property is stabilized, as well as funds when the property is sold/refinanced.
Hey, do you mind sharing your thoughts on carried interest as an additional alternative of receiving income as a GP? Is this something that is customary within the RE fund structures? Or is it typically a simple waterfall structure plus management fees? Thank you!
I don't quite understand where the originally 65% of the $3,000,000 comes from, but also how/when do you pay Uncle Mark his $950,000? Can anyone help? :(
65% (2 Mio. roughly) would come from debt from lenders/debt investors as there is LTV- Loan to Value Ratio which is used in real estate financing. Remaining 1 Mio. is from equity investor. Also original might have continued as equity part with CRE assets there on asset side which are mostly capital appreciative in nature..
In this example you are saying that the preferred equity is a 95/5 split. Is this most common(the proportional split), because I’ve also heard that with preferred equity the LP would get 100% up to the hurdle rate.
Nice video but it is too fast to grasp or to understand the concept indepth. I would request you to go little slower for normal people to understand the concepts by watching your videos..
