— Your Investor Classification Result —

You Are a Retail Investor. Now Let's Level Up.

Level 4 — Accredited

Level 5 — Angel Investor

What This Means

You Are Already Investing. The Next Step Is Investing Smarter.

Retail investors hold $25,000 to $100,000 primarily in publicly traded assets such as stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, or public REITs. You understand how markets work and you are already putting your money to work.

The gap between where you are now and the next level is not about working harder. It is about gaining access. Private real estate deals, syndications, and partnerships are generating returns above 20% ROI for investors who have made the move beyond public markets.

Your next milestone is growing toward $100,000 in investable assets with at least 25% allocated to real estate. That is the bridge to Sophisticated Investor status and the deals that come with it.
