Jerry did you read my post? I went to him seeking his expertise. At that point in time the only thing that I was perceiving about him was precisely what you obviously seem to perceive about him now. And as far as my perception of myself (at that moment in time) I was just an inexperienced newbie who could stand to learn a lot from him in addition to the professional services that I was seeking. However this guy (because he seem to have never heard of the concept of "wholesaling") just started ripping me and all RE investors apart! He never even looked at my purchase agreement! He wouldn't even touch it! I am very aware of his credentials. In fact it took me several months to get up the confidence to solicit him for his business as I was suffering from an overwhelming inferior complex as a result of my reverence for both his title and expertise. Nevertheless do you mean to tell me that you don't see him as being even a ted-bit arrogant in his actions? Refusing to even take a glance at my contract? Calling "all RE investors" (especially my new friends here at BP) scam artist? I asked him if he had any experience working with RE investors and he stated "no, because there is none here" What the heck did that mean? And I did ask him to elaborate on his comment that "I was being scammed by my internet friends and the courses and therefore had no real concept of just how complicated RE investing really is." And as one example he shot out (rather sternly), "Most of the properties here in Manning, SC are heir properties and the person in possession of it can not sell you the property!" I responded with, " Are you saying that even after a property has gone through probate the executor doesn't have a right to sell?" I could tell in his face that he was shocked at my response and equally as irritated. As a newbie, I was just seeking some clarification, why did that seem to agitate him so much? Sounding even more irritated he responded with, "well yea they can if it's been through probate!" You may disagree with me Jerry but I think his irritation came from his realizing that (as ignorant as I may still be as far as RE investing is concerned), perhaps I wasn't as ignorant as his prejudice of me told him I was. I am sorry Jerry but I refuse to believe that all attorneys are like him! And like I said in my previous post I personally believed and still do believe that it is his arrogance that is the root cause of his negative actions and bitter perception of RE investors.
PS. I also reverence all of the professionals here at BP! None of the courses that I took came close to giving me the true confidence building nuts and bolts stuff like I find here on this BP site. The wisdom and sound advice that I read on this site to me is nothing short amazing! As a result of feeling inferior to you all, it took me quite sometime to start engaging in the discussions. Jerry please carefully reread my previous post. I never questioned that attorney's level of expertise. Nevertheless he felt it right to prejudge and question mine (as small as it may be in comparison to his) and for that I felt and still do feel that he was wrong.
