Don't show this to him but use it as a reference during the conversation.

My question revolves around peoples' opinions on how to best prepare myself to invest in income producing properties in the next 3-4 years in regards to 401K v IRA v highly liquid personal stock portfolio.I have read many posts on here referring to using self-directed traditional or roth IRA's as the vehicle through which to invest in real estate, but I am curious if I have not yet started a roth would it be better to start a post-tax savings/ investment account so that I can be ready to jump on a deal nearly immediately if one presents itself?

San Diego is a very expensive area just for reference. 

Feel free to send me a PM and I may be able to refer you to someone.

You asked this forum, because his advice defies common sense.many friends have given me bad references as well.Screen your attorneys the same way you screen tenants.

I've previously had some success direct mail marketing to probate attorneys for leads on distressed properties.It was over a year ago but it did produce 1 deal worth a $10k assignment fee on a distressed property.The one attorney that responded gave me that deal and referred me to another attorney who had a similar deal.

I have a feeling it's mainly being referred to as the scams that go on there and the people who take advantage of new investors. 

Do you require personal references on your application?

@Mike Flora I sent you a private message with instructions on how to refer thru my website. 

Erica Nagle the quote didn't get my underline but I was specifically referring to the "waived the inspection" part.
