Does anyone have examples of preferred equity structures and/or model? Trying to better understand how they work and what to assume if you wanted to redeem the preferred equity after a couple of years.

Thanks for the tag ^redacted‌. These instruments are endlessly flexible and customizable, so I'm not sure you will find much value in examining other searchers' deal structures (other than just seeing what's out there). The 'market' tends to gravitate to certain return hurdles and governance provisions which are easily found by talking to investors, but the mechanics of your capital structure always solve for a unique deal situation/problem. I would suggest you define what you need your capital structure to do for you and then negotiate with your investors around that need.

as stated above there is complete flexibility here. Here are 2 options:
1) preferred equity with return (8-12%) - non redeemable - likely a coupon that is accrues over time and you pay 100% of the equity + 100% of accrued coupon at exit. In addition, pref converts to common as well.

2) preferred equity with return (8-12%) - redeemable - you can pay down the principal over a short period of time. converts into 20-40% of common after all principal paid .
