Got ahold of some very interesting usury cases recently for a case I'm testifying on, and it's interesting how decisions are made and what the courts consider.I am the Education Chair for the California Mortgage Association, the statewide hard money lenders trade association, so I guess I'm a C.S.N.

My second purpose is to incorporate myself into the business synergy by participating and networking with people on this site.

Will be taking notes to begin implementing - plan to incorporate action steps into my 90 Day BiggerPockets Challenge.

Within the past three weeks we have incorporated, set up our website, established relationships with a realtor, wholesaler, title company escrow officer, three lending sources, and two contractors.
