I specifically want to expand on Chris's point by discussing capital risk buckets, which help set a target return range for IRR.At my company, they are as follows:Core: Lowest risk, Class A product, in Central Business Districts, ranging from 7-10%+ levered IRR (since you're in development, I assume this is most of the asset class you handle).Core Plus: Still low risk, strong location with potential upside, 10-13% levered IRR.Value Add: Medium-high risk, Class B+ or B-, mediocre to strong location with operational or physical upside, 13-15% levered IRR.Opportunistic: Highest risk, major upside potential, varying locations, 15-20% levered IRR.As for the GP/LP split on promoted interest, GPs can choose an aggressive split, but the decision should be strategic and consider the preferences and risk tolerances of potential investors.

You can tell they genuinely want to help people.
