We invest both passively as an LP in some deals but primarily we co-sponsor/GP syndications and are active in those projects.Since LP level returns seem pretty consistent (2x for 5 years and increasing with duration) I'm more interested in what range other sponsors are receiving on their end to better understand how different groups are using OPM.

If you see a consistent pattern of disappointment, assume that will be your experience too. 

Hi everyone, throughout my research I consistently come across those who preach the 50% rule.

@George Mathew I am not sure how the demand is in NY but my first question is, will this rent consistently ?
