Most investors understand the idea of a mortgage or a loan. Fewer have a clear, simple picture of how private real estate equity works — and how owners actually build wealth over time.

In this episode of Builder’s View, Jeff Zimmerman, CEO of Fort + Home, explains:

• What private real estate equity is
• How it differs from debt and public REITs
• How GP/LP structures and waterfalls typically allocate cash flow and upside
• Where equity sits in the capital stack — and why it takes first loss
• How real housing projects use equity to turn land and plans into communities
