Syndication - GP/LP

[Ian McDonald]

Bigger Pockets Members,

I'd like to ask some of the experienced investors out there how many of you put your own money into the deal on the LP side as well as acting as the GP and syndicator?  Secondly, do LP's find this to be comforting that the syndicator has their own skin in the game?  I'm sure this all depends on the deal. 

Lastly, If you do join in on the LP side do you pay yourself returns equal to that of other investors. For example your syndicating a deal and the capital raise is $1,000,000 and your bringing in 9 LP's including yourself all throwing in $100k. If the COC return is 9% i'm wondering if you would pay yourself and the other 9 investor $9k each on their intial investment.

If you need more information to answer I will fill in the gaps.

Thanks in Advance.
