@Shaun Reilly I apologize if I've confused along the way, like I said, I'm still learning the business and I may have mixed up some terminology .  

Again, my apologies. 

Please advise, I apologize for my lack of knowledge this is new to me.  

Thank you both for reaching out and I apologize for the delay in response.

I apologize that would be @Andy Cross 

This thread was from August and I apologize for not giving an update to all that responded.I was able to save this deal by renegotiating with the seller giving him more money at closing.

I apologize.

Acting as a principal buyer or seller and not as an agent allows you to use any form you wantThere's no law that as a principal buyer in California forces you to use a CAR form.You should disclose that you're licensed agent and you're not acting as if it is Sherry agent you're acting as a principal buyerYou can use the CAR forms with addendumsFinding the right attorney is not an easy chore in the state of California because most attorneys are used to working with agentsTo find my attorney for my business it took me six months, pretty aggravating.And I had to train him on my agreements with lease options, AITDs, subject to, partnership agreements, joint venture agreements, etc.I do apologize I can't give you his name Continue to work as you are and congratulations on getting your licenseA suggestion on getting your attorney is go to your local REIA meeting and ask for the best contract attorney for subject to, Lease options, partnership agreements, etc.Best of luck

. - my apologies for the delayed response. 

Apologies for the novel but as you all know every detail counts.
