BallparkLP Join the waitlist

For LP investors in real estate syndications

Stop wiring money into
deals you haven’t read.

BallparkLP reads the PPM, operating agreement, and pitch deck — then surfaces the red flags, grades the governance, and benchmarks the deal against everything else on the market. In minutes, not weekends.

First 500 LPs get founding pricing. Launching late 2026.

How it works

Three steps. One disciplined read.

  1. 01

    Upload the deal.

    Drop in the PPM, the operating agreement, the pitch deck, and anything else the GP sent over. PDFs are fine. Marketing decks are fine.

  2. 02

    Let it read.

    The model extracts hundreds of structured data points across returns, sponsor, debt, fees, governance, market, and projections — and flags exactly where the GP got vague.

  3. 03

    Decide.

    See the headline numbers, the red flags ranked by severity, the governance letter grade, and how this deal compares to every other deal we’ve seen.

What it surfaces

An excerpt, not a screenshot.

Every deal gets the same disciplined read. Here’s the kind of signal an experienced LP would flag — surfaced automatically.

Returns

Net IRR to LP
14.2%
62nd percentile · multifamily value-add
Equity multiple
1.9x
median in cohort
Preferred return

at market

  • Floating rate, no rate cap. LTV 78%.
  • GP co-invest 1.8% of equity. Below 5% threshold.
  • Exit cap 4.75% vs. going-in 5.50%. Compression assumption.
  • Rent growth assumption 4.8% vs. market 2.3%.

Governance grade C+

  • No GP clawback provision.
  • GP may amend operating agreement unilaterally.
  • Mandatory capital calls, uncapped.

The framework

Eleven categories. Ranked by what matters first.

Experienced LPs don’t read a PPM linearly. They triage. BallparkLP mirrors that decision flow — returns first, sponsor second, red flags third, and the rest in order.

  1. 01

    Returns & economics

    IRR, equity multiple, pref, cash-on-cash, hold period, going-in and exit caps.

  2. 02

    Sponsor & track record

    Co-invest, AUM, years operating, prior losses, key persons, verification.

  3. 03

    Risk & red flags

    Ranked by severity, mapped to the structural cause in the documents.

  4. 04

    Deal terms & waterfall

    Pref, splits, catch-up, capital-event vs. operating, carried interest basis.

  5. 05

    Capital structure & debt

    LTV, rate type, maturity, DSCR, recourse, prepayment, IO period.

  6. 06

    Fee structure

    Acquisition, asset management, disposition, affiliated PM, total annualized load.

  7. 07

    Property fundamentals

    Asset class, occupancy, age, unit mix, rent vs. market, physical condition.

  8. 08

    Market & location

    Population growth, employment, vacancy, comps, supply pipeline.

  9. 09

    Governance & LP protections

    Removal rights, clawback, indemnification, key person, reporting.

  10. 10

    Projections & assumptions

    Rent growth, exit cap, vacancy, expense growth, projected sale price.

  11. 11

    Benchmarks & comparisons

    How every metric ranks against the cohort — fee load, leverage, governance.
