We use Michael Blanks Syndicated Deal Analyzer. I understand the underwriting model has been invented.
We have a property that is listed for sale and all the cashflows that have been paid to investors and the waterfalls that are from our PPM.
How do you figure out the exact amount that goes to an investor and the exact amount that get's paid to a sponsor based on the waterfall levels based on the cashflows that have already occurred?
If it is so simple, would you mind walking me through it... I have all the data in the spreadsheet above and the waterfall structure in the post.
Thanks!

Hey guys, I work with Trent and we are trying to model what the returns would look like if we sold at a certain price.
The waterfall from our PPM is:
Cash Flow
ActionsTier | Template | Description |
---|---|---|
1 | Preferred Return | 7% Annual Preferred Return to contributing members |
2 | Split | 80% Upside to Class A and 20% Upside to Class B thereafter |
Capital Event
Actions Tier | Template | Description |
---|---|---|
1 | Return of Capital | Return of Capital to contributing members |
2 | Catch Up | 7% Catch Up to Class B |
3 | Split | 80% Upside to Class B and 20% Upside to Class A up to 20% IRR for the Investment overall |
4 | Split | 50% Upside to Class A and 50% Upside to Class B thereafter |
Attached are all the cashflows for the deal. We are working on creating a sheet for one of our employees to fill out so that we can look at different scenarios... the last cashflow is based on a projected sale with 6% of closing costs taken out.
What we need is help to identify the waterfall split amounts and what each investor would be returned and what their individual IRR is going to be.

Hey all,
Thanks for this information on Jacksonville. I am coming to visit on the 14th and 15th and trying to get a good idea of the market and make some connections for multifamily purchases. Does anyone know a good multifamily broker? We are looking in the 20-100 unit range between 2MM-15MM. Also, if anyone wants to meet up, I would love to chat, I will be at Wicked Barley at 7pm on Monday the 14th. I'll buy you a beer!
Cheers!

Post: 5 plex value add with huge loan problems!

Investment Info:
Large multi-family (5+ units) buy & hold investment.
Purchase price: $945,000
Cash invested: $345,000
I 1031ed a home that I purchased in college into this 5 plex. My plan is to add value to the property and get a freddie mac small balance loan once I've increased the NOI by implementing rubs and raising rents.
I need to get the property value up to 1.33m so that I can get a 1m loan at 75% ltv so I need to figure out how to do this. Wish me luck!
What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?
1031 exchange
How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?
multifamily broker
How did you finance this deal?
credit union, it was a nightmare
I had a lot of difficulties getting a loan on this property since the loan is less than 1m.
How did you add value to the deal?
Upon purchase, I immediately sent RUBS notices and raised rents to all 5 units the maximum that was allowed by the city of Portland. Once these increases go into effect the property value will increase by (5 units x $100/m of utilities and 5 units x $95/m of rent increases which amounts to a $11,750 NOI increase) roughly $250,000 at a 4.5% cap rate.
What was the outcome?
it's pending
Lessons learned? Challenges?
going with an unknown lender is always a bad idea... I should have used the guys I knew would close the deal.
