Memphis can be a strange market when evaluating, is very blue collar, and tenants can be more difficult in the experiences that I have had in that market.I am in no way affiliated with TK and these are just my insights after having met him, seen his business, and hearing him speak at the REIA.

I know how I'd answer to this, but that's unfair because now knowing, I comprehend what value I'd have on it and what I'd look for.     

I am not in any way affiliated with them, but I think the A/CREIA is one of the best in the area- they usually have good attendance, bring interesting speakers in, have a solid group of vendors, and are just generally well-organized (unlike the REIA that I belong to, which is a big joke).

I have not used them and I am not affiliated with them in anyway but it looks like an interesting option for mitigating risk in certain scenarios. 

However, the 65 is the only test that does not require you to be sponsored by a broker-dealer - this implies that you could be an RIA and hold the Series 65 and not be affiliated with a firm and perhaps qualify as an Accredited Investor.https://www.investopedia.com/a...Checking and confirming accreditation is the responsibility of the syndicator - some are very specific about how they qualify someone and others are not. 

I hate receiving them in messages or texts but can deal with it, but to try and read a post with them and comprehend what is being conveyed is torture.

Start with NARPM affiliates, they have a code of ethics and excellent training and support. 

I'm not affiliated with them in any way, just really enjoy the product. 

I'm not affiliated with them in any way, but I've researched them and it's a winner for RE investors.  

My understanding is that they are setup specifically for those who can't pay or receive interest on a loan (I am in no way affiliated nor have I ever used UIF, by the way, just read about them in other threads here on BP).
