Re: new home builders

Based on the somewhat limited facts given, I'd say the builders are probably within their rights. On the other hand, California has rather broad unfair-competition laws, and there may be additional facts that would bring their rejection of your deals within one of the prohibitions of, for example, Business and Professions Code section 17200 et seq.

Investors are not a protected group for discrimination.
