@Joel OwensYes i talked to all the commercial brokers within 10 miles that i could pull up in the phone directories and internet from me.

The Hard Money Lenders Directory here on BP is a good place to start.

There are online directories where you can look up a prisoner's location (you'll have to know whether they're in federal or state prison) and then you can send them a letter.

So does sophisticated investor mean "everybody on the planet other than accredited investors" or are there other requirements.If i'm understanding correctly I would scour bigger pockets forums, find the people talking about syndication, contact them directly to ask if they have x of 35 slots remaining for sophisticated investors, then put in 100,000 and collect 8% a year on it.I dunno for me personal i'd rather use the 100,000 for a leveraged investment townhouse or something in the neighborhood of the new amazon HQ2.Also makes me wonder where do accredited investors go to find a directory of these offerings to jump in to?
