And all of them were saying that I needed to be an accredited investor. What is this exactly and how do I obtain this status? Also what are some good non traditional investments? I was thinking about investing in Indie movies via someone like Indievest but aside from that idk.

For just a regular person like you... accredited investor means you must have a net worth of at least one million US dollars or have made at least $200k each year for the last two years [$300k with your spouse if you are married) and have the expectation to make the same amount this year.


Or if you intend to have a partnership... you and your partners must have assets exceeding $5 mill.

There are other qualifications that can also make you a accredited investor but they all involve companies... trusts... charitable organizations... and corporations

i would ask the person offering the investment what exactly that means - as i don't think theres a definition for an 'accredited investor' - never even heard that term used before.

there is a definition and most of the time, it's used when investors are looking into getting in a hedge fund. You have to have significant knowledge and/or experience in investing and basically rich. This is just putting it in H-I wording and not SEC wording.

i'm taking a online class about 1031 exchanges & TIC's and ran across this and thought of this thread. for those that care:

What is an accredited investor? To be considered accredited, an investor must have a minimum $1 million net worth or have earned $200,000 per year for the past two consecutive years, if single, or $300,000 per year if filing a joint tax return. If the party is an entity, it must have a $5 million net worth or each of the stockholders, partners, or members must meet the accredited standards separately.

Yeah it's someone with a high net worth and a good chunk of investments. You need to be one, or like one to invest in things like hedge funds and other investments.

hedge funds?

"An aggressively managed portfolio of investments that uses advanced investment strategies such as leverage, long, short and derivative positions in both domestic and international markets with the goal of generating high returns "
basically a way for the rich to invest, with hopes of very high returns that result from high risk investments. When people invest in these, they invest millions normally and for the most part you have to be an accredited investor, and another plus is that they are unregulated, unlike mutual funds.
