Core concepts

GP/LP structure

GP sponsor operates; LPs contribute capital and receive preferred return + waterfall.

SEC compliance

Reg D 506(b)/(c) governs marketing and accreditation requirements.

Returns waterfall

Typical: 7–8% pref to LPs, then 70/30 above pref.

Examples

  • $5M apartment with 15 LPs at $250k min, 7% pref, 30% GP promote.

Practical applications

  • Scaling past direct ownership capacity.
  • Operators with track record raising institutional capital.

Common mistakes

  • Syndicating without 5+ direct deal track record.
  • Underestimating SEC compliance burden.
