Any real world knowledge would be appreciated and I know mortgage brokers, private equity and loan professionals could help here.Thanks William

Receiving a written confirmation from a registered broker-dealer, SEC-registered investment adviser, licensed attorney, or certified public accountant that such entity or person has taken reasonable steps to verify the purchaser's accredited status.I highlighted the "non exclusive" bit, which I think (not a lawyer, though) means there could be other methods.

Tyson, first you have to activate your license by affiliating with a broker (I'm assuming you have a salesperson's license).

(Chapter 19)Another investment property was being sold by a real estate broker, who was the owner of the property.

Also, I will not be using a broker in this sale.

Most banks/mortgage brokers are not remotely interested.

That is just begging for trouble.When they deal with an agent, that agent and its broker are personally liable for anything that happens.Being able to access properties is one of the reasons some investors become licensed.

I too am cautious about broker/dealer designation from a different angle.

Before you take your test, talk to some managing brokers about your intentions of being "part-time."

I recommend to my investor clients that they talk to a lender or mortgage broker to get pre-qualification, or better yet pre-approved, before they submit a purchase agreement.
