If you set up a "checkbook LLC" for your SDIRA, then I believe (check first with your custodian and/or attorney) that you would be able to invest directly as the manager of your LLC (using the LLC's account), without going through your custodian.On the other hand, that ability to quickly invest can be a double edged sword, since I think the delay can be a good thing (it forces me to think more carefully about the syndication and take the time to make sure it's a good investment for my SDIRA).
