Should Syndicator for Multifamily Invest Their Own Money In Deal

[Dan Handford]

Alignment of interest is one of the most important things in any real estate syndication deal. The alignment of interest is when the syndicator actually puts their own money into their deals along with their investors.

As an investor myself, I do not like participating in syndication deals unless alignment of interest is at play.

How many of you invest (or plan to invest) in your own deals?

In addition to adding money to a deal, what other ways have you found to create an alignment of interest?

Finally, for the newbies, how do you put money into your own deal to create alignment of interest when you have no money of your own?
