To even invest in a hedge fund you need to be an accredited investor.

The new JOBS act very slightly relaxes the advertising restrictions (advertising allowed, but if you do you can only accept accredited investors), but does not change any other requirements.

Specifically, I would like to offer the general (accredited) public an opportunity to lend me money to refinance my existing mortgages.

The JOBS act changes allow you to advertise but then you're limited to accredited investors only.

The mother usually has a deadbeat boyfriend home playing video games all day and the kids are home schooled and the SSDI check is used for pot and ciggarettes and on a rare occasion the electric bill, that is if they even pay that.I would read between the lines when someone ask me to use their kids income Because they are unable to support themselves without it.the sad part is that it should be used to help the children, but most people abuse the system and that is why our country is in the shape that it is in.

I know some local colleges here in Rochester, NY that have accredited classes related to real estate, you may want to check around locally.Also, I would recommend not just limiting yourself to real estate classes.

Very soon, mid September you will be able to advertise for "accredited investors".

Yes, for example we have active investments from Accredited Investors on projects in Puerto Rico.  

Licensing requirements protect non accredited investors.

If you have $1,000,000.00 to invest you are an accredited investor.
