Raising capital without being subject to SEC syndication
During studying for the CPA exam over a decade ago, I first encountered SEC rules for raising capital and syndication. But I'm not interested in syndication. I am reasonably proficient at finding local friends to invest in deals. But no where have I been able to find guidance on raising capital while "avoiding" SEC solicitation rules. Has anyone run across a great book, video, or resource on this topic? Am I able to solicit "friends" on Facebook or LinkedIn or biggerpockets for that matter without risking SEC conflict. Most on Facebook are at least acquaintances, but what level of familiarity must I have with someone? I never seek more than a few investors from friend pools. Is there a limit on the number of people I can seek as investors? I set up separate entities with GP/LP structure on deals.
