If you're more of a 'personal referral' person than a 'do research online' person, and this is local to you in Manhattan, KS, hit up one or two of the trades people in the "little apple all stars" BNI group.

Ask to speak with the duty agent and advise them they received a referral with additional concerns about RAD's operation from the SEC, that you're a victim of RAD and want to give them information about your investment. 

If you don't have any connections here, find people that are investors here and reach out to them for a referral (whether on here or FB).

I havent worked with him personally but have received a good referral for him.

If that is the case then I would say yeah work with an agent who has a solid reputation either here or from a friend referral.

Margins are indeed low, but its good referral business and helps to build my sphere more.I don't intend to manage a large portfolio at all though.

We could not do this without the trust of our clients and referral partners.

Referrals from local investors on BiggerPockets can be a great resource. https://www.biggerpockets.com/business/finder/agents@Mark Ainley sounds like a great person to link up with!

Our growth has been entirely organic, driven by word-of-mouth referrals, but we’re now looking to expand our reach to new investors who might be interested in our offerings.I’ve seen and heard a lot about lead magnets (e.g., signing up for an eBook in exchange for an email address) and was wondering if anyone has suggestions on lead magnets that have been particularly effective in converting interested parties into prospects.I’d greatly appreciate any advice or guidance you can share.

I think the best way to safeguard yourself for situations like this is to ask for referrals of current students who joined for the same reason you are interested in learning.
