Accredited Investor Certification

[David Calme]

Good Afternoon All.  I was wondering if anyone can shed light on the most efficient method of proving accredited investor status, from an investors perspective.  I know that some of the crowdfunding sites are using 3rd party verification.  Would it be better to use a CPA/Attorney?  It seems that putting together bank/broker statements, property records, private placement agreements as proof to each syndication operator or crowdfunding website that you wish to invest with may become a cumbersome process.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

@David Calme many 506(b) syndications use "self certification" of accreditation status.

I believe for 506(c), the verification onus is on the syndicator.

Some 3rd party verification sites require the investor to "re verify" every 3-4 months, which can be a pain.
