Introduction to the Waterfall: How to invest with partners in real estate

Learn to structure real estate investments with business partners using the waterfall distribution framework

What's Inside

Thinking about investing in real estate with business partners?

How do you determine a fair and equitable way to split the profits if each person is contributing different amounts of capital and/or labor?

What if one person is contributing much more money but zero labor?

How do the professional investors handle such situations?

They use the Waterfall Distribution Framework.

It's a the mostly widely used way of determining how to compensate different partners when there is different levels of capital and sweat equity contributions being made.

In this course, I'll show you what the frame work is, it's components, how it's used for investments, and show you exactly how it's applied by demonstrating it through two example case studies.

“Clear and understandable. Excellent, useful excel templates. I appreciated the optional modules that clarified terms as well as more advanced information.”

“Clear, concise, excellent pacing, with great examples, and numerous other resources.”

Noelima Salama - 5 Stars

“Good presentation and message transmission. Factors in those who already have the knowledge and those who don’t.”


Who is the The Waterfall Framework for?

• Real estate investors exploring investment partnerships

• Developers seeking to pitch investor partners

• Entrepreneurs seeking investors for cash oriented businesses (e.g. small businesses like restaurants)

So, you have a great investment opportunity

You grab your two best friends, get all excited, and then invest together.

In your haste to get started, you and your two partners decided to divide the equity evenly in thirds--it seemed the obvious and fair choice at the time.

Two months later, you're disagreeing over who's doing what, who's contributed what, and who deserves how much of the investment.

It's a total disaster.

Don't make this easily avoidable mistake!

Use the waterfall framework to structure your investments in real estate!
