  1. What is Waterfall Modelling? (Investment Waterfall Distribution) Waterfall modelling is one of the methods of profit distribution arrangements used in investment schemes. Basically, it is a method where the profit is split among partners in a deal that allow profit to adhere to uneven distribution. The arrangements under the waterfall structure is when the operating partner gets rewarded and receive a higher share of profits in cases where the project’s return turns out more than the expected return. The same principle is applied too when the project’s return is lower thus, the share of profit given is lower. Though you may think that Waterfall Modeling sounds simple, it is actually more complex and also considered as one of the most difficult concepts to understand in cases of real estate finance. This is due to how the cash flow is split in many ways thus, making a waterfall model confusing and hard to understand. The waterfall structure itself consists of a series of funds being filled by cash flow and once it overflows, the excess will then be pooled over into another additional fund. One thing about investment waterfall distribution is that one needs to adhere according to the owner’s agreement. Hence, it is very important to always read the owner’s agreement contract so that there will be transparency between the partners and the owner. The contract will be listing down in detail, the information needed by the parties involved such as how the profits will be split. Depending on the terms and other components stated in the agreement, the waterfall model can vary widely. Therefore, to ensure that there is a consensus between the parties, reading the agreement is significant.
