In 1995, the City of Walnut Creek’s Police Department was receiving a large volume of calls from neighbors of 160 Sierra Drive. The property had been suffering from poor management since it was passed onto out-of-state heirs the previous year. Mr. Kashani put the property under contract and began a tedious loan application process with the City of Walnut Creek and Contra Costa County. Almost six months later, escrow closed with funds from the City, the County and a loan from Bank of Walnut Creek.
