I definitely am more interested in the syndication route than flipping but I know house hacking could be another great route to go early on.Right now I am able to save a lot of money as I am still living at home, rent free, and my monthly expenses are very low (about $300).

In a 506(b) deal you are allowed to bring in up to 35 sophisticated investors that don't meet the accredited standard, and almost as many as you want accredited investors.  506(c) you can market offering, and need to take reasonable steps to verify they are indeed accredited.Reg A(+) you can market and raise from non-accredited, but more regulatory filings.I think there are a lot more accredited investors than you think.
