How many GP syndicators are there in the U.S.?

[Benjamin Arritt]

I am working on planning tools that will help GP syndicators, but I am having trouble finding the Total Addressable Market.  Does anyone know where or how I could find out the total number of GP syndicators are there in the U.S.?

@Benjamin Arritt short answer is A LOT.  I did a simple Form D search with the term "real estate" in it and came back with 5,836 offerings.  Not every syndicator has "real estate" in their offering name, so there are a lot more.  Syndications have been around as long as people with money wanted to own real estate that was beyond their means alone.
