i) Present the deal to a more sophisticated/seasoned investor and ask for a "finders" fee?

@Elliot Marszalek that is incorrect. 506(b) syndications can accept non-accredited sophisticated investors.

I had to have a cushion for maintenance and vacancy built up.Hard Money Lenders on FlipsWith track record, more sophisticated lenders would take a chance on me.Refinance at BankEUREKA!

The more you learn and more sophisticated you get, you'll start to calculate your offer price based on the cash flows and cash on cash returns, and not on a cap rate. 

With B you can have unlimited Accredited Investors and up to 35 Sophisticated.

Hi John, I would recommend just treating them as an external contractor, this way you don't have to deal with payroll and taxes and the overhead that having an employee includes.

Your POA will allow you to deposit that check depending on the sophistication of the bank. 

All non-accredited investors, either alone or with a purchaser representative, must be sophisticated—that is, they must have sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to make them capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment.506c: a company can broadly solicit and generally advertise the offering and still be deemed to be in compliance with the exemption’s requirements if: The investors in the offering are all accredited investors; andThe company takes reasonable steps to verify that the investors are accredited investors, which could include reviewing documentation, such as W-2s, tax returns, bank and brokerage statements, credit reports and the like.Again, it would be wise to check the SEC guidelines, but sponsors have the ultimate responsibility to ensure their investors meet the requirements.

A real tower operator has engineers and lawyers on the payroll which makes them operate a whole lot more efficientlyIf I sell that tower for 500,000. 

Having 1 S corp is enough filing costs, payroll issues, bookkeeping.
