About this pro forma
This pro forma presents the projected deployment, hold, and exit cycle of a multi-property real estate fund. It links capital calls to property acquisitions, operating cash flows, debt repayment, exits, management and transaction fees, and the distribution waterfall that determines LP net returns after GP carry.
Use it to assess fundraising targets, pacing, portfolio value, fee drag, and distribution timing. The Excel model runs property and waterfall mechanics; the pro forma is the projected fund-level decision output for GPs, LPs, and advisors.
What every model includes
Live formulas, no hardcoded values
Outputs are driven by live formulas, so the workbook updates from its assumptions instead of relying on hardcoded results.
All assumptions in one tab
Inputs are clearly marked in the Assumptions tab and separated from calculations, making it clear what to change and what to leave intact.
Statements always balancing
For integrated-statement models, the balance sheet, cash flow, and supporting schedules tie through properly.
Distinct schedules for clarity
Debt, working capital, taxes, and cash flow can get messy quickly. We group calculations in clear schedules, not across disconnected tabs.
No hidden macros or external links
There are no unexplained external workbook links or macros to undermine auditability or portability.
Changes flow through the model
Update a key driver and see the impact carry through the forecast, financing, and return outputs. We never use hardcoded numbers in formulas.

Created by ex-finance professionals
Hey, I’m Alex and I created Finamodel.
Over my years in the finance industry I kept building the same models over and over again. Same structure, same assumptions, different logo. So I started building frameworks to turn them into clean, reusable templates.
Every model here is one I’d actually use for a client, and I personally vet each one before it goes up.
I’m not an expert in every industry, but I’ve built enough models to know what belongs in one. And when something is completely foreign to me, I reach out to my network for experts to work on our models with us.
Having a template library on hand cuts a first build from hours to minutes.

Frequently asked
What does this real estate fund pro forma show?+
It projects capital calls, property deployment, operations, exits, fees, distributions, carry, and LP net returns.
Can I model multiple properties?+
Yes. Each property can carry its own deployment, hold, debt, operating, and exit assumptions.
How is GP carry reflected?+
The waterfall allocates proceeds after capital return and preferred return, including the selected catch-up and carry mechanics.
Does it show the J-curve?+
Yes. Early capital calls and fees create negative fund cash flow before projected exits and distributions improve returns.
