Partnering with others can make real estate investment more accessible—but tracking and distributing returns fairly requires the right framework. In this course, professional investor Symon He demystifies the waterfall distribution model, a widely used method for allocating investment returns among multiple partners. You'll learn how this model accounts for both capital contributions and sweat equity, ensuring that everyone is compensated proportionally for their role in the deal.

Through hands-on examples—including a restaurant startup, a rental property, and a parking garage—you’ll see how to apply waterfall structures in real-world scenarios using Excel-based tools. Symon also explores the dynamics of investing with friends, family, and business partners, and teaches you how to handle rental income, fix-and-flip profits, and potential losses within a clear, structured return model.
