Dan are you an accredited investor?

Not accredited just yet, so I can’t invest in syndications 😞

Perfect, if you are accredited, consider syndication where you become a limited partner and participate in large scale value add re-position plays w/experienced operators.  

I want to do all of this while homeschooling my children and making them into world changers also.

Contractor - strongly advise you to select a contractor with the accreditation as a Certified 203k Contractor; keep in mind that the contractor does not necessarily dtermine the pricing for the project  (see 203k Consultant info above) but does need to know the different versions of the 203k, payment methods, timelines, paperwork, forms, and processes; definitely don't want to work with a contractor who is going to "wing it" on a 203k.You're only as strong as your weakest link.

Are there syndication deals where you can invest and NOT be an accredited investor?  

When you speak to an attorney who specializes in Real Estate Syndications...Make sure he explains to you the difference between taking on Accredited Investors vs.

Are you accredited?

I'd bet most respondents are not Accredited investors which requires net worth over $1M excluding your primary.

Jeb, if you're an accredited investor and you decide to 1031 exchange, you might consider learning about DSTs.
