Accredited Investor?? WHY!!

[Ryan Taylor]

Hoping someone can provide some logic to the SEC reasoning behind having to be "accredited investor" to invest in certain security offerings. Any other ways around this. Wanting to get into apartment syndication, and maybe you dont have to be accredited for this, but I have a couple of short term first trust deeds notes ready to ballon and want to redeploy my capitol. Any advice and guidance is greatly appreciated.
