California Syndication

Real Estate Syndication Software for California GPs

California represents the largest real estate market in the United States, with nearly 40 million residents and property values that lead the nation. While the Golden State doesn't allow domestic Series LLC formation, sophisticated California GPs typically form Series LLCs in Delaware and register them as foreign entities in California. This structure, combined with California's deep pool of accredited investors concentrated in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego, creates substantial syndication opportunities despite the state's higher regulatory burden.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about real estate syndication in California.

California doesn't allow domestic Series LLC formation, so syndicators form in Delaware (which pioneered Series LLCs in 1996) and register as foreign entities in California. Delaware's Court of Chancery also provides business law expertise that California lacks.
