You Can Only Have 35 Non-Accredited InvestorsRule 506(b) allows an unlimited number of accredited investors but restricts you to only 35 non-accredited investors.However, there’s a catch:Non-accredited investors must be financially sophisticated.They must have enough experience to evaluate the investment risks.From the SEC:“Securities may not be sold to more than 35 non-accredited investors… [who] must meet the legal standard of having sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment.”If you’re planning to include non-accredited investors, make sure they qualify—or you could be violating SEC rules.3.

There are always ways to increase the value of most homes, but that is also a crap shoot.

This strategy showcases how buying directly from motivated sellers, renovating strategically, and selling retail can yield substantial financial gains in a relatively short time frame.

Or we gradually perform high-quality updates for a live-in flip, then roll the equity into a new home.Regarding rental income, we aim to boost income, lower our effective tax rate by generating more low tax-drag income with rental income (since there’s not much we can do to lower out W2 tax bills) and have retirement cash flow.To compare the financial impact over 10-20 years, we want to analyze renting versus flipping.

I'd happily accept the former, though the 16% YOY property tax increase would be a non-starter for me.

But I can't see why Cleveland would increase in value based on negative population growth and, generally, being a bad place to live.   

You will probably want to pay attention to the income tax basis to any proposed transactions as well as be wary of any transfers that cause a property tax reassessment, depending on whether that amounts to a big increase in taxes or not.Feel free to reach out if you would like referrals in San Diego County in order to work remotely.
