You can become accredited by taking the series 65 - It’s a couple hundred bucks but if you already have an investment it could be worth it. I’m going through the process myself DM me if you want more info

I ran into the same issue- I am currently looking at getting series 65 license under the SEC's new accredited investor definition: 

https://www.sec.gov/corpfin/am...

The test is $187 and the registration in Illinois is $150 for a total cost of $337. A lot of people say its not worth it but if you can get in a solid long term investment I think it will pay for its self! 

What do you think? Worth it or no?

I’m very confused by the pre-qualification step in the application process- can you pre qualify multiple people? Not sure what they are going for with that either

I’ve had good experiences with ‘best appliance’ but I’m scared this is the “used appliance store on Ashland” you mention as one of your mistakes on the podcast!

@Jay Ritchie how did climate guard do with flashing? I ordered some last month and I’m a little nervous they won’t flash them properly

Hi All, 

has anyone successfully become an accredited investor through a FINRA certification?

I want to invest in a security with this requirement through my solok but don’t meet the income or net worth requirement. FINRA license seemed like a good way to learn a bit and also change my status

Curious if anyone is in a similar position
