If you have a 506(b) offering, you won't need to do the accredited verifications, but then you cannot advertise the deal.I've worked with three different SEC attorneys.

Check with your trusted tax professional. 

To my knowledge, STRs do not qualify for the real estate professional status as they are seen as a business venture and not real estate activities (this is why it is a "loophole").

I'm surprised there's not more legal guard rails in place for these types of deals given the large amount of $$ involved.Curious when a non accredited investor is let into an investment that states it's open to accredited investors only, how does that make sense? 

My husband and I raise capital from accredited investors on a regular basis.

If I would be accredited I would do it immediately .Just why learn and feel about Ashcroft.Good luck 

The reason you don't see much about the DST offerings is that all of them that I saw are for accredited investors only and so you can't get any information until you sign up with one of the investment advisors who offers them and provide them with some assurance that you are accredited.

I am accredited.

I guess the only way would be to sell the property and then put gains into a opp zone fund, but we are not accredited investors. 

Are you looking to quite your W2 job--STR might get a leg up because of the STR loophole in becoming a real estate professional?
