Serial entrepreneur I asked Claude, a LLM link [1] how to invest in your local economy if you are not an accredited investor.
It gave this answer:
There are several ways to invest in your local economy as a non-accredited investor. Here are some options:
1. Local businesses: - Purchase gift cards or shop at local stores - Invest in local crowdfunding campaigns - Join a local investment club
2. Real estate: - Invest in local REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) - Consider house hacking (buying a multi-unit property, living in one unit, and renting out the others)
3. Peer-to-peer lending: - Use platforms that focus on local borrowers
4. Community banks and credit unions: - Open accounts or CDs at local financial institutions
5. Local stock exchanges: - Some cities have their own stock exchanges for local businesses
6. Community Supported Agriculture (CSA): - Invest in local farms by purchasing CSA shares
7. Municipal bonds: - Invest in bonds issued by your local government for infrastructure projects
8. Local business incubators or accelerators: - Some offer opportunities for small investments in startups
9. Cooperatives: - Join or invest in local cooperative businesses
10. Microloans: - Participate in microlending programs focused on local entrepreneurs
Remember to diversify your investments and consider your risk tolerance. Would you like me to elaborate on any of these options?
Now I am asking Michael Shuman for his answer.
