Accredited investors now must have a net worth above $1 million excluding the value of their primary residence. Alternatively they should have annual earnings above $2/300,000 (this will be reviewed.) http://www.trowbridgecurriculum.com/blog/accredited-investor-net-worth-rules-have-changed/2010/08/ http://www.trowbridgecurriculum.com/blog/accredited-investor...
