Can a WY LCC own a % of a CA property if it's a passive investor?

[Trevor Levine]

I own 20% of a CA investment property. I'm a T.I.C. partner and passive investor. Meaning, the 80% partner is doing everything from renovations and repairs to property management. I do nothing except receive quarterly distributions. 

I want to deed my 20% into an LLC. Can it be a WY LLC? Or must it be a CA LLC?

I'd prefer a WY LLC for two reasons. First, the annual renewal fee is lower. Second, it offers charging order protection.

I think CA will hunt you down for their pound of flesh on this one. probably you'd be better off owning 20% of whatever LLC holds this property or you and your partner each get to pay $800 per year.
