Hey Robert, my wife and I are local and she is a real estate broker.

Purchase price: $162,500 Cash invested: $75,000 I was offered this property directly before it went on the market from my agent.

I am happy to see that my Dothan (Keyword filter) told me about your message.

As we have an accounting firm, note I am a bit biased, but here is what I see folks have the most success do: You should start with an accountant who is very familiar with your investment strategy and grow with them until you cant anymore.

Consider starting small by house hacking a single-family home, renting out rooms, or adding an ADU if possible.

Haven't heard of it, but why not pitch your idea to a few and see if one is open to doing a one-off?

Any idea where the information was coming from? 

Although in the last couple deals most have come out as 506C deals where only accredited investors are allowed, there are still 506B syndications where you can be a sophisticated investor (self proclaimed) so you don't have to be accredited.

Do you have reserves you can show them?   

I have been a podcast listener since 2011 and a forum browser since 2020!
