o Core-lowest risk: fully stabilized with credit quality tenants on long term leases. Well located and in very good condition.
o Core-plus moderate risk: same as above with some opportunity to increase the cash flow. Perhaps short-term lease roll over.
o Value- Add Medium to high risk: looking for that opportunity to add value and will accept some risk to do that. Property has high vacancy rate, physical obsolescence, etc. Lower quality tenants.

Limited Partnership

A

A relationship where the limited partner may not be involved in the day-to-day management of the business. This partner may have just contributed funds to the business, and often the funds that they contribute are the extent of their liability. Limited partnerships will still have at least one general partner to man the day-to-day operations of the business.
