@Alexandra FisherIf you are an accredited or sophisticated investor I recommend spending time underwriting operators/syndicators in the Midwest and South East and invest in multiple projects to build a diversified portfolio of multifamily investments.

I have lined up interested investors, but many of them are not "accredited."

Has anyone successfully used a series 7 in order to qualify as an accredited investor to invest in RE syndications? 

If accredited and no time or interest to develop on ground teams to support your goals, take a serious look at syndication where sponsors can get you into good cash flow markets and value add opportunities (i.e apts) in markets far from your home and let them do the work for you. 

People invest passively in syndications and funds because they have a life, a career, a family, and don’t want to have two jobs.If you’re not an accredited investor there are limited options for you to invest passively in syndications or funds.

Invest in real estate early.House hack early and build a portfolio of rentals.Get to accredited investor status as soon as possible to open more doors.Live on 1/2 my income, invest the rest.Don't buy flashy things....products...buy only tools that have proven ROI ....no wrapped Hummers, no billboards, don't be dependant on other companies for leads.

Dealing with tenants and property managers can be a headache, and they tend to think you're some rich guy in Hawaii and overcharge you for property management fees and repairs.Eventually, I sold all my rentals, especially when I became an accredited investor, and started getting into syndications and private placements for the sake of legal liability.

Accredited investors (who used to own turnkey rentals) all laugh how they wished they got out of owning rentals sooner.Why would you want to be the direct owner... better to move to LP with no management headaches, not having to optimize equity with refinances in the future, little to no liability, and no debt in your personal name... and no crazy tenants :PIf your net worth is over 500k, I can't really find a good reason to buy a rental property.

I do have two accredited people that would probably do $50k.
