    506(b) vs 506(c) Explained: Which Syndication Exemption Fits Your Raise

    506(b) allows no public advertising but up to 35 non-accredited investors. 506(c) allows advertising but every investor must be accredited and verified. Both file Form D within 15 days of the first sale.

    A real estate syndication company pools capital from accredited (and sometimes non-accredited) investors to acquire commercial real estate — usually multifamily, industrial, self-storage, or hospitality. The 'best' syndicator depends on whether you're investing or raising. As an investor, you want track record, transparency, and aligned fees. As a sponsor, you want the infrastructure to become one of these companies. We cover both angles below.

    How we ranked them

    • Years in market and deals closed across cycles
    • AUM and average deal size
    • Reported net IRR and equity multiples
    • Investor portal quality and reporting cadence
    • Minimum investment and fee structure
    • SEC compliance posture (Reg D 506(b) vs. 506(c))

    Frequently asked questions

    A real estate syndication company (the 'sponsor' or 'GP') pools capital from passive investors (LPs) to acquire and operate a commercial real estate asset — typically multifamily, industrial, self-storage, or hospitality. The sponsor handles acquisition, financing, operations, and disposition. LPs receive distributions and an equity split.
    We rank syndicators on six factors: years in market, AUM and deal volume, reported net IRR and equity multiples across cycles, investor portal and reporting quality, minimum investment, and SEC compliance posture (whether they use Reg D 506(b), 506(c), or Reg A+).
    Sometimes. Reg A+ syndications (like Cardone Capital) allow non-accredited investors. Reg D 506(b) allows up to 35 non-accredited investors who must have a pre-existing relationship with the sponsor. Reg D 506(c) is accredited-only but allows public marketing.
    You need three things: a deal (or repeatable acquisition thesis), a Reg D 506(b) or 506(c) offering with a PPM and operating agreement, and access to LPs. Raises.com handles the legal infrastructure and the LP outreach in one platform — most clients close their first syndication in 90 days.
    Minimums range from $5,000 (Reg A+ deals like Cardone Capital or RealtyMogul REITs) to $200,000+ (institutional fund managers like DLP Capital). The most common range for accredited Reg D syndications is $25K–$50K.
