Introducing Partner Modeling in TheAnalyst® PRO
At TheAnalyst PRO, innovation has always been at the heart of what we do. Today, we’re proud to announce a groundbreaking enhancement that’s redefining how commercial real estate professionals structure, analyze, and present investment partnerships: Partner Modeling
Whether you’re a syndicator, investor, or broker, structuring partnerships has historically been a complex and time-consuming process — requiring spreadsheets, manual calculations, and, often, a lot of guesswork.
Not anymore.
What Is Partner Modeling?
Partner Modeling is the process of structuring and analyzing how cash flows, profits, and returns are distributed among investors and sponsors in a commercial real estate partnership.
Our new Partner Modeling feature empowers users to model both simple and highly sophisticated investment structures in minutes. With TheAnalyst PRO, Partner Modeling is fully integrated into your property analysis with just a few inputs.
Model Types Now Available:
• Simple Split
Quickly divide cash flow and profits based on ownership percentages, with no preferred returns or promote structures. Perfect for straightforward partnerships and small syndications.
• Rake Distribution
Introduce a “rake” or fixed promote to the sponsor, allowing a predetermined share of profits (e.g., 15% or 20%) before the remainder is split based on ownership.
• Preferred Return & Promote
Model structures where investors receive a preferred return first, and any profits above that hurdle are split with a sponsor promote (carried interest), incentivizing strong deal performance.
• Pari Passu Tiered Waterfall
Advanced tiered waterfalls allowing cash to be distributed across multiple hurdles (e.g., an 8% pref, then a 12% IRR hurdle) with customizable promote structures at each level.
