Giving sensitive information needed for the loan process to someone with an LLC (which isn't difficult to make) that I can't validate seems rather risky, thoughts?

I like real estate for the opportunity that it provides.Some of my investor buyers for my listings have multiple stock accounts they pull from to purchase real estate.Personally I like real estate because it is a tangible asset.I don't like the idea of paper to be worth 100 one day and 10 cents the next.At least with a property barring and act of God or some other strange occurrance I will have a tangible asset to sell.I know some will say but if you bought at the height of the market you would be upside down on that tangible asset.I didn't buy anything back then.I saw many people laughing and making money refinancing and to be honest I did feel like maybe I was missing out.I waited on now I am so glad that I did because many of those same people laughing with joy are crying in pain.Stocks just like real estate is something that if you just dabble in it you can lose everything.The sexy part of stocks just like real estate is to make money quick but many more lose than win.The losers aren't talked about much but the few winners are pumped up to sell marketing and courses to extract money from the herds.For my honeymoon years ago we went to Tennessee.While there my wife had an adverse reaction I think to the make up used at the wedding (she has sensitive skin).So we went to a local doc.This guy was really nice but old in his late 80's.We started chatting up and he said it was just a reaction to something and gave her a shot.I talked about real estate.That's when he said him and his wife had put all of their retirement in Enron stock and had it for awhile then BOOM the bottom fell out and they lost everything.He had to come out of retirement and open a practice again in his late 80's to make ends meet.That scared the hell out of me and made me stay away from stocks.I might eventually buy a small amount for a long term hold but I am not into risk with stock market.I have seen too many people see big dollar signs with their eyes and lose their shirts.

I know the second one is more unique and sensitive but the first one I know will continue to run into with motivated sellers and wanted to what other investors methods were.

You would need to trust this person and give up control of the deal so before you do, make sure you have your safeguards in place.You need to find a local mentor.

I'm under the old school approach of meeting and sitting down with a CPA as opposed to submitting sensitive information via e-mail to an accountant regardless of whether it can be highly encrypted.

I would have to think this is market sensitive.

I'm not providing them with any sensitive info. 

Banks are especially sensitive to lack of experience so new or relatively new investors are shut out.To answer you directly, yes and no.

He is on call and lives close by so he can be here if anything time sensitive happens, but mostly he works on general upkeep. 

It's been really sensitive subject lately - in Ohio, particularly.
