Preferred Equity Model - Up to 10 Years - Includes Common Equity Waterfall

In the last series of preferred return templates, I said I was going to do a preferred equity version. Well, I have done so and this is it. Also included is an optional common equity waterfall that sits below the preferred hurdle. I think the logic here is super cool as well as useful. It lets the user look at possible cash flows given various project funding structures.

I have done quite a few real estate models over the years. This forecasting template was made for quick underwriting analysis.

All of these things affect the cash flow that is available and how it is split as well as the overall return on investment of the project.

Economics of a Zoo / Aquarium / Amusement Park: Startup Financial Model

Yes, most Zoos and Aquariums run as non-profits, but that doesn't mean they don't need financial planning. It is just that they don't distribute profits nor are supposed to have profits. They simply have cash in and out and all extra cash is supposed to be re-invested by the operator. Often times, a Zoo will be run by the government rather than private industry, but it depends on where you are in the world. This excel model allows the user to do the planning of startup costs and on-going operations really well.
