I started by reaching out to all the accredited investors and high net worth folks I knew to see if any of them did lending.

In my arena to be a Passive Investor, the SEC says (there are two major types of deals) I must [1] be sophisticated (knowledgeable) or accredited (rich) and have a preexisting relationship with the sponsor - OR - [2] be accredited.To be a Sponsor, you (or perhaps the team of sponsors) need to have contacts to be able to raise the funds. 

keep in mind as a non us resident your exempt from the accredited investor rules .. so syndication could be a nice play for a portion of your funds.. choose wisely though

Hi BP, I'm looking to start a private equity fund where I intend to take accredited investors money and lend bridge/construction loan to small/mid sized single family builders. 1.As I stated before, i will only use accredited money only, so a PPM is not law, but I plan on using one as an insurance policy.

As mentioned above a 506C would allow you to do whatever you want, but would limit you to accredited investors only.  506B would allow you to take non-accredited investors but NO ADVERTISING!

We are accredited investors and could buy into a professionally managed syndicate for large multi-family (Paul Moore's Wellings Capital?)
