Do I qualify as an Accredited Investor?

[Brett Whaley]

I have seen an individual needs $200k income for the past two years and reasonable expectation of doing so the following year to become an accredited investor. This jumps to $300k if investing with spouse.

My wife is a stay at home mom, and I clear $200k on my income alone. We file joint tax returns. Does this mean I need $300k or does my $200k qualify if I start investing under my name alone? Thanks in advance for any help.
