Assuming the potential deal you are analyzing meets your target IRR for investors (net of fees), what's the best way to determine if the deal make sense from a sponsor/developer's perspective? Is it simply making sure that the deal can afford your management fees and carry/profit split (after the pref to investors) and still achieve your target IRR for investors? Should the Sponsor's IRR be calculated based on the sponsor's investment (ex: 10% of capital), which you would expect to be significantly higher than the investor's IRR? Or should you analyze it more like a traditional business to ensure the management fees cover overhead and a salary for you.

It appears the sponsor would rely heavily on management fees (acquisition, loan, prop. mgmt, asset mgmt, etc.) to cover overhead until distributions to investors surpassed the preferred return and a final sale. 

Also, I would imagine you need to have multiple projects (or a few large ones) to live off the management fees until the ultimate sale.

Appreciate any feedback. Hopefully my question makes sense...

@Bryan Hancock & @Barry DeGroot - I appreciate the help!

I'm exploring the possibility of using a 506c offering to raise money from accredited investors for our new global real estate fund. Does anyone have advice and any idea of the legal/startup costs for this type of offering? Our plan is to raise money from our existing investors and use advertising to raise money from new investors through email marketing, google PPC, social media and other strategy advertising. Thanks!

Any suggestions for marketing strategies to attract new investors? I've been exploring the obvious like a new SEO website with blog/newsletters, videos giving investors an update on our projects, advertising on Social Media (FB, IG, etc), attending conferences, being interviewed on podcasts and/or starting my own podcasts.... Any other suggestions? Thanks! Brian

Has anyone used a white label crowdfunding platform to handle their investor verification, communication, advertising and backend? I'm trying to decide if it makes sense to use a platform like FundAmerica, CrowdStreet and others to handle the backend for our next private placement. Thanks! Brian
