Product Description
An interactive Video Tutorial in which you will learn big picture real estate private equity fund basics, the general legal structure of funds based in the U.S., how to set up a fund-level model, and considerations for running sensitivity analyses. Topics covered include modeling a typical investment’s net cash flow, rolling up of multiple investments, projection of management fees, and the partitioning of cash flows to the limited and general partner ownership interests based on a typical fund catch-up structure.
Also includes modeling of individual transaction partner promote structure, and a fund-level clawback. The case study used is a Core-plus fund that acquires existing income-producing properties.
Purchasers follow along in Excel in real time and perform exercises to ensure they are grasping the lesson and are mastering the technical skills being taught.
