I've been in contact with Phil Sharp, seems helpful but I can't speak to how he does business as we have only chatted via email thus far.....seems very tuned into the area and is retired military which I like....

You seem like a sharp guy you're starting early, that's great man!

He is young and doesn't personally own investment real estate; however, he seems very sharp and worked for a very prestigious accounting firm before going out on his own.

Sharp as a tack.

Calif is tough.I would call S Cal REIA president that ask for an attorney that has done deals in lease options, flips, sub2. title holding trusts in CA, contraxts for sale (as in cfds), AITDs, etc.And ask for a title co and a CPA that owns rentals.Pasadena is a conservative town, I would look outside that area.Will Barnard is a very sharp REI.

Welcome to BiggerPockets Bruce Farkas.You seem like a real sharp guy and I'm sure you'll do great in this business if you keep doing what you're doing.

Ky Sharp,Possibly this question should be asked of the potential lenders.

Ask all the questions you want, there are some very sharp investors here who would be delighted to help in any way possible.

Looks sharp!

Personally, I'd prefer scheduling one showing Saturday morning at 10am sharp to multiple families (qualified or un) and create a competitive atmosphere as others have pointed out.
