Disclaimer

Educational content only

Everything published by SCREIA — on screia.com, in chapter meetings, in newsletters, in resources, and in member discussions — is educational and informational. It is not legal, tax, financial, accounting, or investment advice. Nothing on this site is a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security or investment.

Real estate carries risk

Real estate investing — including flips, rentals, BRRRR, syndications, notes, and ADU strategies — involves substantial risk, including the risk of partial or total loss of capital. Past performance of a strategy, market, or operator is not indicative of future results. Real estate is illiquid and may take longer than anticipated to sell or refinance.

Consult qualified professionals

Before acting on anything you read on this site or hear at a SCREIA event, consult with qualified, licensed professionals — a real estate attorney, CPA, tax advisor, lender, and/or fiduciary financial advisor — who know your specific circumstances. California real estate has California-specific tax, regulatory, and disclosure requirements that may not apply elsewhere.

No securities offering

SCREIA does not offer or sell securities. SCREIA is an educational and networking organization for Southern California real estate investors. SCREIA is not a registered broker-dealer, investment adviser, investment company, crowdfunding portal, or issuer of securities under federal or California law. We do not raise capital, syndicate offerings, sell fractional interests, or solicit investment in any private fund, partnership, LLC, note, or other security on behalf of members or sponsors.

Members occasionally describe their own deals, joint-venture opportunities, syndications, or note positions during chapter meetings, in member-only newsletters, or in informal deal-discussion circles. These exchanges are educational discussions among investors. They are not offerings made by SCREIA, not curated or vetted by SCREIA, and not endorsed or guaranteed by SCREIA. SCREIA does not perform diligence on member-shared deals, does not represent that any such deal is suitable for any other member, and does not receive transaction-based compensation from member-shared opportunities.

Many private real estate offerings — including most syndications, fund interests, and certain note structures — are securities and may be offered only under specific federal exemptions such as Regulation D Rule 506(b) or 506(c), and only to investors who meet the applicable accreditation or sophistication requirements. If you are evaluating a private real estate investment, retain qualified counsel and a licensed financial professional before committing capital. Whether any particular member-shared opportunity is a security, and whether it has been properly registered or exempted, is the responsibility of the member or sponsor offering it — not of SCREIA.

Member-shared deals

Member-shared content. This post was prepared and presented by a SCREIA member, not by the chapter. The member is responsible for the accuracy of any numbers, market claims, projected returns, and strategy descriptions. SCREIA does not perform due diligence on member-shared deals, does not verify the member's track record or licensing status, and does not endorse the strategy, the operator, or any specific investment. If you are considering acting on a member-shared opportunity, perform your own diligence and consult qualified counsel; many private real-estate investments are securities and may be offered only under specific exemptions to qualified investors.

Sponsor disclosures

SCREIA is an educational organization, not a referral service. We do not recommend specific vendors. Where a sponsor appears on the site or at a chapter event, that relationship is disclosed — and a sponsor's sponsorship is not a fiduciary endorsement of their products or services. Members engage any provider at their own discretion and should perform their own due diligence.

Affiliation status

SCREIA is currently an independent Southern California chapter. National REIA affiliation will be applied for once the chapter has a stable membership base and a named board. Our affiliation status will be published on the About page when it changes.
