Looking for ideas on a Debt investment.I have $20,000 to invest in a debt fund or with partner. 8% + return, 6mo-2yr tie up.Prefer seasoned company with many successful deals to their credit.Non-Accredited, SDIRA acceptable.Thanksps: I am not looking at this time for anymore equity investments

Once we have one or two deals, we may switch to only accredited.  

If it's as an investor: are you talking about accredited investor or nonaccredited investor (which are both very different worlds).

It is not logical that we could be in business for over 10 years (in the same city even), employing the number of people we do, carrying all of the business overhead that comes with running a large enterprise,  being vetted by the number of accredited investors who choose to put their capital to work with us etc. if the business model was charging $3000 to as many people as possible and then purposefully turning down their loans.

However, there will most likely be a room full of sophisticated and accredited investors.Do you need passive investors to provide capital for you to help you buy deals in your syndications like @Jay Hinrichs said?

The platform may allow investment by accredited investors only or be open to almost anyoneEach has advantages and disadvantages.The portals that allow anyone to post a deal have not been very successful and they will probably remain a fringe categoryMany investors are familiar with the big players in the industry that provide access to deals sponsored by numerous parties.As an example of a single sponsor platform I will use our own.In the last two years we crowdfunded/syndicated 26 real estate debt deals, raising just over $46,000,000.00 and two months ago completed our first equity raise, raising $1,700,000.00.Additionally, we did a co raise with a major real estate debt crowdfunding portal that was primarily residential and wanted to move into the commercial space.I will tell you that despite many similarities, no two portals operate the same, and there are major differences in deal type, vetting, costs, risks, returns, and transparancy.Keep watching this arena.

For those who don’t know, these are crowd funding platforms that allow accredited investors (like myself) to invest in syndication deals.

Groundfloor is also available for non-accredited investors. 

I don't have much material success but I have spent my time homeschooling five sons and developing my skills and character.My morning routine always begins between 4-6 am with an hour of prayer and reflection with God.

You can also go to the FL Association of Realtors website and I'm sure they have licensing requirements, fees, and a list of accredited real estate schools.
