Fellow syndicators! Telling LP's about my fees

[Charlotte Dunford]

Hi all. Any syndicators here? I am making a company presentation to tell my LP's about what I do and my investment strategies, and how I can serve them. Etc. I included a slide for how they get paid, and how I get paid (acquisition fee, equity split, etc). I don't want this to be a turn-off for them. How do I be straight forward and at the same time, not make them think "Wow! So many fees, I'm being ripped off." Should I even include how I get paid in the introduction deck? Any ideas?

Yes you need to be completely upfront and transparent. 

Don’t be afraid to talk about your fees you are being fairly compensated for all the work that you’re doing finding the deal underwriting providing financing doing all the due diligence managing the *** that etc. it takes a lot of work to bring these projects to the finish line.

Remember you are providing investors and opportunity to make money with you. You’re not charging them it’s just part of the deal
