Modeling Hard Cost Markup Fees (URGENT)
Hey all - interviewing with a homebuilder and currently working on a take home assignment. This may be tough to verbalize but hopefully somebody follows what I'm getting at.
In this case, the GP is also the GC in the deal and in addition to taking a 3% acq fee at closing of the home build, it is taking a 20% markup on hard costs as those costs are drawn. How would you model this scenario in a waterfall? First time modeling a development.
hmm. Who is paying that "markup" the investor or partnership? I would probably add it in as a seperate line item and add it back to GP net returns to equity. The complexity arises when discussing what the LP contributions are and therefore when the pref is met. I think you should be think that final piece through and be prepared to discuss with the hiring managers. They are likely testing your thought processes more than waterfall modeling.
My assumption was that the partnership is paying the markup. I also think you would not include that markup in the GP IRR calculation and you'd break out the separate GC economics?
