A limited partnership entity organized to invest in real estate.

Explaining ‘Real Estate Limited Partnership – RELP’

Limited partners are much like stockholders in a public company, in that they have only limited influence in the business operations of the limited partnership. However, limited partners also have limited liability. If the RELP faces losses, limited partners are only liable for the amount of their capital contributions.
