Cross Lake  Partners  LP (“Cross Lake,”  the  “Firm” or “Adviser”), a Delaware limited 
partnership, was formed on April 4, 2018 by Michael Barr and Jonathan Shumaker, the principal 
owners of Cross Lake. The Firm intends to provide advisory services to real estate private funds 
as further described in this brochure. 
Cross Lake  is a real estate investment advisory firm that provides  advisory services on a 
discretionary and non-discretionary basis to the following private funds:  Paulson Real Estate 
Recovery Fund, L.P. (“Fund I Master Fund”) and its feeder fund Paulson Real Estate Recovery 
(Offshore) Fund, LP (“Fund I Offshore Feeder”);  Paulson Real Estate Master Fund II LLC 
(“Fund II Master Fund”) and its feeder funds Paulson Real Estate (Offshore) Fund II, L.P. 
(“Fund II Offshore Feeder”) and  Paulson Real Estate Fund II, L.P. (“Fund II  Onshore 
Feeder”);  Cross Lake Real Estate  Master  Fund III LLC  (“Fund III  Master Fund”) and its 
feeder funds Cross Lake Real Estate (Offshore) Fund III LP (“Fund III Offshore Feeder”) and 
Cross Lake Real Estate Fund III LP (“Fund III Onshore Feeder”); Cross Lake Real Estate 
Master Fund IV LLC (“Fund IV Master Fund”) and its feeder funds Cross Lake Real Estate 
(Offshore) Fund IV LP (“Fund IV Offshore Feeder”) and Cross Lake Real Estate Fund IV LP 
(“Fund IV Onshore Feeder”); and Cross Lake Real Estate Fund IV SRO AIV LP (“Fund IV 
AIV”). Together, all funds are referenced throughout this document as the “Funds”. 
Each Fund is formed to pool investment assets of its investors (each a “Limited Partner” and, 
collectively, “Limited Partners” and the Limited Partners, collectively with the General 
Partners (as defined below in Item 10.C) shall be referred to as the “Partners”). 
The Funds invest in residential and commercial real estate. On behalf of the Funds, Cross Lake 
will identify and undertake direct or indirect investments in real estate, including joint ventures 
with real estate operating partners,  in  the United States.  Such investments may include single 
assets, portfolios, entity-level investments and equity or debt securities. The Adviser’s scope of 
services includes identifying and acquiring real estate-related investments on behalf of Funds and 
subsequently managing such assets/portfolios. 
The Funds seek to maintain a flexible investment strategy designed to focus on the most 
profitable opportunities. The Funds invest in residential and commercial real estate acquisitions, 
including  residential subdivisions and masterplan communities, homebuilding ventures,  condo 
developments, apartments, office buildings, retail properties, hotels and industrial properties. 
The  General Partners  access investment
                                        
                                        
                                             opportunities for the Funds through the numerous 
industry relationships of the Firm’s senior management and through strategic relationships with 
operating partners. 
Post-acquisition of real estate assets, the General Partners will seek to create additional value by 
actively managing assets in the Funds. Many assets often suffer from ownership’s lack of focus 
and unwillingness or inability to deploy capital or other resources. The Firm also sources 
opportunities through lenders that have assumed control of assets yet lack the development and 
operating expertise to manage projects.  
The General Partners implement numerous strategies that the Firm’s senior management have 
executed over many years spanning different market cycles, locations and asset classes. To help 
employ these strategies, the Funds may enter into joint ventures with operating partners that 
possess the local market knowledge and expertise to carry out such strategies on a day-to-day 
basis. Areas for value creation may include one or more of the following: (i) revenue 
enhancements, including renewed leasing and marketing efforts, reprogramming of product 
offerings to better meet current market demand and pursuit of additional ancillary revenue 
sources; (ii) potential cost savings, including more efficient staffing plans, contesting of real 
estate taxes, rebidding of service contracts and renegotiation of other obligations; (vi) cost-
effective capital improvements that generate increased revenues; and (vii) add-on acquisitions to 
existing investments, such as adjacent properties or different tranches of the capital structure. 
The Firm intends to pursue investments that offer these potential value-add opportunities, while 
simultaneously considering the present use and condition of the underlying property to help 
minimize the risk when making an investment. 
The Firm’s advisory services will be provided to each Fund pursuant to the terms of its formation 
and offering documents (“Governing Documents”) and will be based on the specific investment 
objectives and strategies described therein. The advisory services each Fund  receives will be 
tailored to the specific investment objectives, the selected investment strategies and the 
characteristics of the property or portfolio of each Fund  as described in its Governing 
Documents.  Funds  may impose restrictions on investing in certain types of investments in 
accordance with achieving their investment objectives and strategies.
