Ways Around Accredited Investor Qualifications
How do you get around this government implemented hurdle?
I have recently started a solo401k, so I have 83,000 sitting there that I would like to invest. I would like to use one of the online platforms like crowdstreet, patch of land, or one of the others......but they only allow accredited investors correct?
Also I know it is against SEC regs for people to ask “strangers” when raising money to invest, but is it ok for me to reach out to strangers if I’m interested in investing with them?
Also, I believe you can raise funds from friends and family without them being accredited, if I’m FB friends with someone would that make it ok for them to use my $?
PS, this accredited threshold is way to high!!!!!

there are NO way around them if its a requirement of a certain fund or company . Search for those that allow non accreds they are out there.
in our world we do ONE note one investor and you don't have to be accredited.. although usually a waiting list to get a note but they get filled in 30 to 45 days..
