Due to my circumstances of working long hours, I’m not able to go to live courses and need help finding an accredited online academy that I can join to get my license.

Good afternoon -- IF I am raising funds amongst friends and family with a pre existing relationship, is a JV agreement more applicable than a syndication with both accredited and non accredited investors? 

Hi @Charles Chang, if you’re an accredited investor there is an investment product called a DST (Delaware Statutory Trust) that might be beneficial for you to learn about if you decide to perform a 1031 exchange.

Hi,Anyone know anything about the accredited residential manager certification from the institute of real estate management or the various certifications from the national association of residential property managers?  

@Lalit R.In Canada, you will encounter public and private REITs, mortgage investment pools/funds and 'traditional' syndications.For some of these paths, you will need to be an accredited investor, while others are open to investors of more modest means.

I mean your not crazy, but I would find a syndication that allows non-accredited investors.

Accredited investor is preferred by most syndications - does this mean you need to have a certain amount of funds in the U.S. company to qualify as an accredited investor (to be clear I qualify by all definitions but that would be for my Canadian company and Hold Co.)

Has anyone attempted or succeeded at purchasing “Accredited” investor lists?

The best way to minimize taxes is to become an accredited investor (as defined by the IRS), which will open you up to tax shelter investments that will help you reduce your effective tax rate. 

When you do 506 (c) there is an additional step of verification for the passive investors to show they are truly accredited.
