I could see my 'slice' probably as well as anyone, but our $5.2M apartment was such a small piece compared to all that's going on in the area.

I think your husband is an admirable man, going against the status quo.

If you have a team, you get your slice... but having a team might get everyone a bigger cake, more security and less margin for errors.

Or sometimes, to make it simple, it's a 50/50 split over the preferred return to equity.If they sign on debt, give them an extra slice of the equity (if they are not contributing 100% of the equity) or of the promoted interest (if they are supplying 100% of the equity).So, someone contributing equity funds would get their share of the equity and a share of the promoted interest, depending on how much of the work they will do.Someone contributing only equity funds would be a silent LP getting a preferred return and a piece of the upside.Someone contributing only work, would get a piece of the promoted interest only, the size depending on how much of the work they were doing.And someone just signing on the debt (i.e., lending their balance sheet to the partnership) would get a piece of the equity only, and it would earn a preferred return and get a piece of the upside.
