Introduction to Real Estate Syndication

At Tamarack, we believe great investing starts with clarity — not complexity. That’s why we’re diving into a question we hear often, even from seasoned investors: What exactly is a real estate syndication?

Let’s break it down.

What Is Real Estate Syndication?

Syndication is a collaborative investment model. A group of investors (limited partners) pool their capital, while a dedicated team of professionals (general partners) — like Tamarack — sources, underwrites, finances, and operates the deal. Investors get direct ownership of tangible assets with adjusted risk and the potential for above-average returns — all without being landlords.

Why Not Just Buy a Duplex (or a REIT)?

There are many ways to invest in real estate, but each comes with tradeoffs:

Direct ownership: Great for hands-on investors with time to manage properties.
REITs or crowdfunding platforms: More passive, but often come with limited transparency, market correlation, and little-to-no ownership.
Syndication: Offers the best of both — ownership, scale, and professional management — without requiring your nights and weekends.

Who Is Syndication For?

We design our offerings for people who have more capital than time. Our investors are business owners, professionals, and retirees who want real assets, not real estate headaches. They value consistent communication, transparent reporting, and a trusted operator.

Yes, You Can Use Your IRA

One of the biggest surprises for new investors? You can invest in real estate syndications using a self-directed IRA. It’s a powerful way to diversify your retirement savings — and take advantage of the tax benefits real estate offers.

What We Do as General Partners

From sourcing deals and conducting due diligence to structuring financing and executing value-add strategies, our job is to manage the process end-to-end. We co-invest alongside our clients, take personal risk on the financing, and provide clear, timely updates throughout the investment lifecycle.

What You Can Expect as an LP

Quarterly reports with performance updates
Passive income (post-stabilization)
Access to large-scale deals typically reserved for institutions
Potential for 100% bonus depreciation — powerful tax advantages
Aligned interests: We succeed when you do

Risk: Understood, Not Avoided

All investments carry risk. But through thoughtful underwriting, conservative projections, and smart financing, we aim to mitigate downside — not ignore it. We believe in honest conversations, not hype.
