Mrunal, if you’re an accredited investor there is an investment product called a DST (Delaware Statutory Trust) that might be beneficial for you to learn about if you decide to perform a 1031 exchange.

I'm not accredited and have no intention of being so any time soon. 

I’m considering going for my “ABR” Accredited Buyer Representative endorsement for my Florida Real State license through the C2EX program from NAR course.

I'm new to real-estate investing and I'm trying to understand the difference between the different forms of investingI want to play this RE game for the long-term and have the portfolio benefit from appreciation, depreciation, tax-free cashing-out, leverage using low interest rates, cashflow to cover the expenses.Here's my understanding of eachDirect RE- Full ownership / control of when to sell- Can leverage & deleverage as you want- Work involved to maintain property; But can hire a property manager to assist- Can provide cashflow to cover expenses + CoC return- Provides hard collateral / security for the money you put in- Tax benefits - depreciation, phantom appreciation, interest deduction Majority Partnership- Form partnership where you are majority owner with 2+ other people (with more capital input) - Can provide benefits of direct RE on controlSyndication- Passive investor / accredited - Less work- Access to commercial RE which you can't get otherwise- No security / collateral for your stake; Can loose everything- No different from investing in a business- Already leveraged returns; You don't control how asset is structured- Depreciation benefit passed through K1; But no benefit of 1031Crowdfunding- Low minimums- Already leveraged returns- Can be equity or debt based; Equity stake has some tax benefits through K1- No security / collateral and everything can disappear without recourseIs this correct? 

We have added a Large family room, bedroom, bathroom, storage room, laundry room, and sitting room/study (we homeschool sooo this was needed).

"Investing in real estate" is a gigantic phrase that cover everything from your typical Ma and Pa land lord who own a handful of SFH's to being part of a truly passive 1,000+ unit apartment syndication with other accredited investors, with a whole lot of variety in between.I like it that you want to help your folks: that's the mark of a good son. 

We are looking to raise capital for the deal and I am trying to get some advice from seasoned syndicator's on the best way to reach accredited investors to share the opportunity with them?

1)  My CPA Firm / Tax guy is *excellent*.2) Two years in a row (2019 and 2020), I've had a non-tax related issue come up during "tax season" where I needed CPA/Tax/Accountant advice, and was given a "too busy" response.Last Year (2019 Jan/Feb): I needed some accounting work done related to accredited investor status and a new private equity investment I was looking into.

Both homes are generating income now but for a long time we were just paying mortgages getting them updated... it was like we knew we wanted to get them onto the market but we were so busy as Realtors and U was home schooling out four kids... we dragged our feet.

If you then doing a 506(c) investment and those folks are accredited investors there is some possible investors.
