In this episode, Craig and I tackle the controversial topic of promote structures and fund manager compensation. We break down the double waterfall structure for fund managers and why projected compensation is never guaranteed.
I share the framework for evaluating deal quality across four key factors: location, vintage, leverage, and business plan. We explain why chasing deals with sky-high projected returns often leads to disappointed fund managers earning zero when aggressive underwriting meets reality. We also emphasize that sustainable success comes from serving tenants and investors first, not chasing the highest projected compensation.
