I think GA does require license to broker money.. maybe wrong.. license is not tough.. then you get your NMLS registration done.. and your good to go.most folks doing this will either have a wall st.. connection were the VC will put in say 50 to 100 million.. and take some control of your company or oversight..the other way is you do a PPM and raise the capital through private accredited investors.. then the third way is to get a credit facility at local banks and they will back fill your loans. ( this is what I did) this is for every 1 million you have in cash they will give you 4 million line of credit.. of course this takes having the cash and having some pretty significant experience and balance sheet.. we had in the day 30 million in credit lines.. through 4 banks.bigger players can get 20 to 50 million dollar lines from Credit sussie ext. 

I recommend and use contractors that have the accreditation as a Certified 203k Contractor.

His sign and website say BBB accredited but I looked it up and he isn't.

That includes my Accredited Investors, Family Offices and Fund Managers.You need an LLC or Corporation for asset protection, tax purposes and credibility.

Some require accredited status and some don't so determine your status to determine what opportunities are available to you.  

Go to www.IREM.org and look for CERTIFIED and ACCREDITED property managers.

The reason I'm asking is I want to understand how much risk you can take with it. 2) are you an accredited investor or a non-accredited investor?

Also are you familiar with the term accredited investor?

By combining, you at least get everything in one place making it easier to manage and track.Alternatively, if you aren't an accredited investor, setting up an SDIRA and lending to others may be the best way to invest in RE without triggering withdrawal taxes and penalties or becoming involved in prohibited transactions.A sit down with a professional, like @Carl Fischer might also get you on the right track.Good luck

Luckily, I realized this in high-school and forced myself to self educate myself on these topics through books like rich dad poor dad, financial intelligence, and many accredited websites.
