Why Real Estate Syndication with Goodin Development Offers a Smarter Path to Passive Investing

Real estate remains one of the most reliable avenues for building wealth, but not everyone wants the responsibilities of being a landlord. At Goodin Development, we’ve reimagined real estate investing by offering passive, managed syndication opportunities in premium multifamily projects across Indiana. By leveraging deep local expertise, sustainable design practices, and transparent structures, we empower busy professionals to invest in real estate the smart way—without the stress of property maintenance or tenant issues.

1. Simplifying Real Estate Investing: The Syndication Advantage

Goodin Development uses a real estate syndication model to pool capital from accredited investors and fund ground-up, Class A multifamily developments. These syndicated opportunities break the process into three core phases:

• Origination: We identify high-potential sites, clear necessary permits, and structure public–private partnerships with municipalities.
• Development: We manage construction from blueprint to rental-ready residences.
• Liquidation: Upon stabilization or sale, profits are distributed to passive investors.

This syndicated structure lets accredited investors benefit from institutional-grade multifamily projects—without the landlord headaches. It’s a fully managed, effort-free way to grow wealth.

2. The Benefits of a Hands-Off Investment Model

Goodin Development removes the stress of property analysis, maintenance, and tenant management—so you can invest confidently, regardless of your schedule.

• High-quality access: We identify and develop institutional-grade multifamily assets that are normally inaccessible to individuals.
• Tax efficiency: Investors benefit from depreciation, tax deductions, and other advantages inherent to syndications.
• Passive income generated: Enjoy rental-derived distributions without active property management.

3. Rooted in Indiana: Local Expertise That Counts

Focused exclusively on Indiana, Goodin Development brings unmatched local knowledge and relationships. Our team knows the fastest-growing suburbs and overlooked towns with prime upside potential.

From Indianapolis to smaller Indiana cities, our projects—such as District South and The Elwood—reflect deep ties and alignment with local markets.

4. Our Values: Communities Over Projects

At the heart of our work is a belief that real estate development should do more than earn returns—it should strengthen communities. Whether transforming infill properties or integrating public spaces, our design approach is driven by placemaking and long-term impact.

We also prioritize sustainability—incorporating green roofs, solar power, and water-efficient systems—to reduce environmental footprint while enhancing living quality.

5. What to Expect as a Passive Investor

Investing through Goodin Development is straightforward and transparent:

1. Join our investor network: Sign up to access upcoming opportunities and receive project updates.
2. Review opportunities: We deliver detailed offering materials, financial projections, and market intelligence for each project.
3. Invest and earn: Once the opportunity closes, you’ll receive passive income distributions plus tax documentation like Schedule K-1.

Post-closing, expect monthly progress updates, project photos, and regular communication on development milestones. Construction typically spans 14–24 months, ensuring thoughtful execution.

6. Managing Risk with Transparency and Structure

We execute all projects through public–private partnerships, providing structured collaboration with municipalities, and enhancing project credibility and support.

We maintain transparency and frequently communicate to investors, ensuring alignment and trust throughout the development process.

7. Spotlight on Key Projects

The Elwood (Kokomo) — A $26M mixed-use development featuring 114 modern residential units and ~3,000 sq ft of commercial space. Approved by local council and now progressing toward groundbreaking.

District South — A mixed-use project with Class A multifamily units mixed with pre-leased commercial office space. Groundbreaking began in early 2025 with leasing expected in Spring 2026.

Each project exemplifies how we partner with municipalities, deliver high-quality development, and integrate design that serves both investors and communities.

8. Spotlight on the Founder: Justin Goodin

Justin Goodin founded Goodin Development after a successful career as a multifamily underwriter. Graduating from the Kelley School of Business with a background in finance and supply chain, he shaped his mission around enabling passive investment without landlord burden.

With a clear focus on multifamily development only—and no storage, industrial, or hospitality projects—Goodin maintains disciplined, strategic investment criteria.
