Day 14 of 90 (04/03/14)

Today I did the thing I think that scares me the most. I asked my Father questions about what he was willing and not willing to do. I have no idea why I was so afraid to ask him. Of course it might have had something to do with the fact that he treated me like I was 5 and pretty much told me that I didn't know what I was doing. (Are all Fathers this way?)

His original deal with his other partner was for flipping homes. He gave a lump sum and got a lump sum in return, quickly. He is not a fan of having me pay him installment payments over 60 months. All he kept saying was "My return here has to beat the bank." To agree to it he wanted to go over all the paper work and double check everything. I'll be honest, my pride was hurt as I felt he was insulting my intelligence. In hindsight (as I'm writing this several days later) it's probably a good idea. He knows things that I don't know, just like I know things he doesn't know and it probably wouldn't hurt to have a second set of eyes go over my numbers, as he is also a numbers guy.

His max limit is going to be $10,000. I did get that wonderful lecture about how pathetic I was at paying him back when I was a teenager. I reassured him that this was all on the level and I wouldn't take a step forward unless I was absolutely sure I could pull it off. I don't know. He's my Dad. I would be more embarrassed about screwing him over accidentally then I would some other money lender. That's not to say I'm not taking any of this seriously. It's just, you know how it is with family.

So now if I could just hear back from Gail.
