Syndication Experience for the little guy?

[Dave E.]

I was recently invited to participate in a syndication deal for a very large commercial project. Numbers look great etc. Minimum buy in is $75k, which is a stretch for me, but I can get there. My experience so far is two SFR currently under my belt, and a third under contract. So this is a big leap for me, but the numbers check out, so I am very interested.

There are obviously people that will be investing much larger sums into this deal. I have a business partner/friend that may jump in with me, but it would only push our investment to $100k which will still be at the bottom of the pile in this deal I’m sure.

My question is, are there any disadvantages of being the little guy with the just minimum buy in amount? Or does it really matter?
