Accredited Investor
What qualifies someone as an accredited investor?
You qualify as an accredited investor by earning $200K+ individually ($300K+ jointly) for two years, or by having a net worth over $1M excluding your home.
Why is accredited investor status important?
Accredited status gives you access to exclusive private investments like real estate syndications and private equity funds, which aren’t available to the general public.
Can I invest in real estate syndications if I’m not accredited?
Yes, some private offerings allow sophisticated investors, but you often need an established relationship with the operator before accessing these deals.

What It Means to Be an Accredited Investor (And Why It Matters for Your Wealth)
Once you start looking beyond stocks and into private investments—especially passive real estate deals—you’re going to hear the term “accredited investor” everywhere.
It’s a critical distinction and it unlocks access to a world of investment opportunities you won’t find on Wall Street.
If you’re serious about building wealth through real estate syndications and private offerings, you need to know exactly where you stand.
What Is an Accredited Investor?
An accredited investor is someone who meets certain income or net worth thresholds, proving (in the eyes of the SEC) that they can handle the risks of private investments.
You’re considered accredited if you meet one of the following:
Income Test:
Earned $200,000+ as an individual (or $300,000+ jointly with a spouse) in each of the past two years, and
Have a reasonable expectation of maintaining that income this year.
Net Worth Test:
Have a net worth over $1 million, excluding your primary residence.
There is no formal application, no government certification you self-certify or verify when needed for specific investments.
Real-World Examples: Are You Accredited?
Example 1: John’s Situation
Income: John just got a raise to $200K but hasn’t earned that much for the past two years.
Net Worth: $700K in retirement accounts + $350K in savings – $100K student loan debt = $950K net worth.
Result: John is not accredited yet. He’s close, but not quite across the finish line.
Example 2: John & Julie’s Situation
Income: Income: John earns $285K; Julie earns $0. Joint income = $285K (below the $300K joint income requirement).
Net Worth:
$500K rental property equity
$250K savings
$600K retirement accounts
$250K inheritance
Result: John and Julie are accredited based on their net worth.

Why Does Being Accredited Matter?
Being accredited opens doors, big ones.
Access to exclusive private investments (like commercial real estate syndications and private equity deals).
Opportunities that are often higher-return, lower-volatility, and more tax-advantaged than public markets.
Freedom to invest outside traditional stock market channels.
The SEC believes that accredited investors are financially sophisticated enough to understand the risks without needing the same protections as everyday retail investors.
In plain English?
But What If You’re Not Accredited Yet?
No stress. Plenty of solid real estate investment opportunities still exist for sophisticated investors, especially through certain 506(b) real estate syndications (the kind that aren’t publicly advertised).
At Trust 2 Capital, we occasionally offer investments for non-accredited investors, but you need to build a relationship with us first.
If you’re actively working toward accreditation (growing your income, building your net worth), it’s smart to start networking now.
