Take a guess! It doesn’t matter if it is a bank or any business. First: A good customer is always treated better than a bothersome tire kicker. [Beautiful I will get to next.] I sell a few of my books online now and then. I have one lady customer who insists upon being notified first…
If a client in a deal has changed their name, on deeds, contracts, etc. they should sign all contracts instructions and such…. As explained here: “Ollie Oldname also known as (a/k/a/) Norbert NewName “Name change certificate, deed poll or other document explaining name change attached.

Maybe, but only if you have some very special skill or expertise or are unusually lucky. In the lucky department, maybe 50 years ago, on my first visit to Reno Nevada, I tried my luck with a dollar bet on KENO, which is sort of a lottery where you pick the numbers. On my very…
Of course not. You should not purchase any non-local property that requires management. Do not acquire anything unless it is within half an hour’s drive of where you live and you can manage it personally. Why?

Good new cars create the world’s greatest traffic jams. Dealers in Porsche, Aston Marin, Rolls, Lamborghini, BMW, Audi, Lexus…
The word “flipping” makes it sound so easy. It might be easy sometimes (rarely) if one can buy a ready to go home or property for well below market value. Normally a bargain deal requires some investment of time and money — fixing it up for re-sale. Then too, if there is a standard broker’s commission plus…
Watch the Ads in a Legal Notice Paper for hot deals . . . In almost every town and county there is a newspaper for “public legal notices.” It usually comes out weekly, but in a big city it may be daily. You can subscribe to it, or buy it at their office. These newspapers…
People may argue the statistics, but more than 80% of my high school classmates were divorced from their first spouse within 20 years. The odds are that YOUR marriage won’t last. The reality is that people who marry are in love and often think their relationship will last for life, but it doesn’t. Of course,…
I personally think that anyone who has assets worth 2c more than my assets is rich and has a substantial amount of money. But looking at it that way, everybody’s answer would be different. It seems to me that if we want to be objective, not personal, the answer is F.I.R.E. ——> Enough to be…
We are all considered crazy by our contemporaries and wives. We think differently than most people. If we go into a sandwich shop we don’t see a pastrami sandwich that is short on meat, we see an opportunity to build and market a much better product. We see opportunity and unmet needs everywhere we look.…
