Full Disclosure is Required for Non-Accredited InvestorsIf any non-accredited investors participate in your deal, you must provide them with detailed disclosure documents.The SEC states:“[The company] must give any non-accredited investors disclosure documents that generally contain the same type of information as provided in registered offerings.”This is where having a Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) and Subscription Agreement becomes absolutely necessary.A PPM outlines:✅ The risks of the investment✅ The structure of the deal✅ The terms and conditions✅ The use of fundsA Subscription Agreement ensures:✅ Investors acknowledge they understand the risks✅ They meet SEC requirements✅ They legally commit their capital🚨 Not providing these documents could leave you vulnerable to investor lawsuits.4.

This decision increased our budget from $15K to $45K, but it turned out to be a wise investment.The increased budget allowed us to enhance the property's overall value significantly, and we were able to sell it for a much higher price than initially anticipated.

I sincerely appreciate your guidance and will certainly look into local REI meetups to enhance traction.

@Eric SmithGenerally, if the taxpayer sells the relinquished property to an unrelated party, the taxpayer generally cannot acquire replacement property from a related party unless:The related party is also participating in a 1031 exchange.The related party pays more in tax on the sale to the taxpayer than the taxpayer is deferring in the exchange (this scenario is rare).Let’s look who is considered a related party: Spouse, children, grandchildren, parents, and siblings.Corporations and shareholders owning more than 50%.Commonly controlled corporations.Partnerships and partners with more than 50% interest.Trustees, grantors, and trust beneficiaries.Non-Related Parties:In-laws.Aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces.Friends.Domestic partners.Entities owned 50% or less by the taxpayer or a related party.In your case, your mother-in-law, aunts, and cousins are not considered related parties to you under the definitions in Sections 267(b) and 1031(f).

Hi Jon from Boyertown, PA-You and your fiancé are interested in buying your first short-term rental and wonder profitable areas to purchase with a budget up to $500,000.I would look at places along the west coast of Michigan, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, and near Ann Arbor, MI.It is important to understand the local STR regulations in each community and partner with a property management company that can help your navigate that and manage it well for an excellent guest experience.Don't forget to look into bonus depreciation and doing a cost segregation study to increase the tax benefits of ownership and if you "materially participate" in the management of the property per IRS guidelines it can offset active W-2 income which most real estate cannot.To Your Success!

If someone came to us with a participation, we still would most likely pass as residential is our bread and butter. 

These are usually from personal connections we have made through the years and the investors usually want proof of experience to participate in any deals.Can you recommend any lenders in particular for SBLOC product?

as a flipper, with the participation of a wholesaler and a hard money lender, what actions should I take BEFORE I close and buy a house (tell me step by step please because i dont really understand the sequence of events) and also please tell me when to do due diligence to make sure how much does it cost to renovate the house and is it worth buying this house?

However, the tax treatment differs between short-term and long-term rentals:Short-Term Rentals (STRs): If you materially participate (work 100+ hours and more than anyone else on the property), you may be able to offset rental deductions against W-2 or other active income, offering greater tax benefits.Long-Term Rentals (LTRs): If your AGI exceeds $100K, your rental losses may be limited, unless you qualify as a Real Estate Professional (REPS).If you plan to expand your rental portfolio, consider an LLC later for liability protection and easier management.
