TWO DISTINCT PLATFORMS, CLEARLY DEFINED

Tesseract Financial Investments provides the investment-management platform. TFI Real Estate Advisors provides real-estate advisory and brokerage services through Libertas Real Estate, LLC. Ian Johnson serves as a managing partner of both, with each engagement handled through the appropriate entity, agreement, and professional role.

Understand the Two Platforms

REAL ESTATE ADVISORY & BROKERAGE

TFI Real Estate Advisors

TFI Real Estate Advisors is the real-estate advisory and brokerage brand operating within Libertas Real Estate, LLC. Its work includes property analysis, acquisition and disposition strategy, underwriting, leasing, negotiation, due-diligence coordination, and transaction execution.

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT

Tesseract Financial Investments

TFI Investment Fund is short for the investment firm Tesseract Financial Investments, a separate entity from TFI Real Estate Advisors. Ian Johnson is a managing partner of both organizations.

Tesseract developed a fund to evaluate and sponsor private real-estate and other investment structures when an appropriate opportunity, legal structure, investor fit, and compliant offering process exist.

Fund Overview

Tesseract is focused on a long-term, diversified approach that may combine commercial and multifamily real estate with other investment-market exposures. The investment team is currently underwriting potential acquisitions and evaluating opportunities.

This page is an overview of the platform, not an announcement that a current offering or fund inventory is available.

Real EstateMultifamily, office, industrial, retail, and other appropriate opportunities

Market ExposureLiquid-market assets when appropriate to the governing strategy and documents

Opportunity ReviewActive underwriting and evaluation before any investment structure is advanced

Terms are opportunity-specific. Asset mix, timing, fees, liquidity, risk, eligibility, and return objectives would depend on the specific formal offering documents.

Investment Leadership

REAL ESTATE & FUND LEADERSHIP

Ian Johnson, Managing Partner

Ian leads the real-estate side of Tesseract's work, including sourcing, property analysis, underwriting, acquisition strategy, disposition planning, and operating context. His separate TFI Real Estate Advisors role concerns real-estate advisory and brokerage work for clients and counterparties.

INVESTMENT & PORTFOLIO LEADERSHIP

Steve Lifgren, Managing Partner

Steve Lifgren serves as managing partner of Tesseract and is an investment adviser representative of Desert Rose Capital Management. Desert Rose is a separate registered investment-advisory firm.

Securities and portfolio-advisory services, when separately engaged, are provided through Desert Rose or another adviser selected by the client under separate agreements and disclosures.

Start with the Right Conversation

REAL ESTATE, FUND, OR PORTFOLIO QUESTION?

The appropriate entity depends on the work.

A property brokerage assignment, a potential fund opportunity, and separately engaged investment-advisory services are different relationships. Begin with the objective, and the next conversation can be directed to the appropriate platform.

Discuss the Appropriate Next Step

TFI’s investor advisory approach is led directly by Ian Johnson and informed by experience across brokerage, leasing, sales, property management, private real estate fund management, and real estate investment strategy. That background helps TFI evaluate income quality, operating assumptions, tenant risk, capital needs, pricing, exit strategy, financing context, and whether an opportunity fits the investor’s broader objectives.
