Hi @Sam Epperson, we have free stuff on our website and on YouTube. You are also welcome to PM me for some other resources.  

Hi @Snehann Kapnadak - I sent you a private message. I have quite a few clients in both NJ and NY including a fund that rehabs homes in NJ. Let me know what you need! I am originally from the east coast (Boston, specifically) and head back their often. Looking forward to chatting!

@Juan Vargas - thank you! You are so incredibly kind. We have a ton of free stuff on our website and free educational webinars if you just want to learn first. You can find our site in my signature below.

Hey @Drew Fein - let's chat! I am always looking for another corporate type attorney to refer business out to. I am especially interested if you do real estate law. Thanks! 

Hi @Dustin Frank, I am happy to help you. I just sent a connection request. Thanks. 

Hey @Carl Fredrickson - under 506(b), it is self-certification, so the investor determines if their net worth is $1,000,000 or not. One of the misconceptions is that this is liquid net worth - it is not. It is all assets less all liabilities, exclusive of primary residence (both debt and equity in the home). So, in this case, the burden is on the investor to tell you the truth. 

For 506(c), have them get a letter from a 3rd party attesting to their accreditation status: CPA, lawyer, or RIA or a third party service provider. Best of luck!

Greg, how much are you trying to raise?

A profit to THEM. In other words, any return on investment. So yes, this also applies to debt investors. Profit does not mean profit on the project/company. It means any return made by the investor.

Truth be told, if you came to me and "I am doing a deal with my bro and dad," I wouldn't take your money.
