Syndicators, How well do you compensate capital raisers?

[Kent Leach]

I'm curious to find out how the syndicators on Bigger Pockets are compensating the capital raisers in their syndications.  As I continue to build my business, I want to make sure that someone who is able to bring significant capital to help get a deal across the finish line are compensated well for their efforts.  I'm currently setting aside 40-50% of the GP to compensate the capital raisers.  Would love to hear feedback from experienced syndicators on this subject.

I would be very interested to hear what people are paying. And, what the legal or regulatory issues are with paying someone to broker a fundraise.

 Let's get our language right. We don't "pay" anything. We can't. As per the SEC, unless you are a licensed broker-dealer you cannot be paid a commission. You may become a partner, which involves some pro-rata fees and equity.
