After the credit partner has been paid, the limited partner is generally paid next.The general partner is paid last and typically receives a larger share of the cash flows after the limited partner has received a predetermined rate of return.This is the structure we've used on our multifamily deals so far.  

I was wondering if the people of BP that rent to college students either charge a predetermined rent (say, $1,000 per month) or do you charge per bed (say $300 per bed, per month for three beds OR $250 per bed, per month for four beds)?

Their option is lost if they break the lease, or you transfer title for a predetermined amount upon successful completion of the lease agreement. 

While on the gold standard, US Dollars could be exchanged for gold by the federal government for a predetermined value.

I am pretty sure that period of time could be predetermined in the form of of a pre-payment penalty or ballon payment laid out in the financing terms to ensure I was covered to pay of the underlying loan.
