Either owned and operated a small business and it became larger, worked for a successful start up (think high tech), that went public, went to "trade school" (doctor, lawyer) and went to the upper reaches of their field, or worked long and hard at their job, saved and invested wisely and didn't pi## away their money on foolish things like new cars every two years etc.There are two sides to becoming a millionaire, getting it (offense) and keeping it (defense).

I would offer services such as a staffed secretary, conference room, furnished offices, Highspeed internet, copier, ect.

In the meantime, a quit claim deed, even from a distant relative, gives you a more defensible position -if another heir makes a claim, or if anyone accuses you of trespass. 

I can sense that they’ve started to get their defenses up, afraid that I’ll offer them an “unbelievable opportunity” that they will someday later regret.

When someone just shows up trying to sell everyone, we get defensive.

The folks who collect money for selling boilerplate websites and then conferring "loss mitigation certifications" to its customers... and to those who do provide a and charge for a service.

When I discuss these numbers with Lubbockites they tend to get defensive and point out all of the new chain stores and fine homes 8) .

IIRC for every 10,000 forcible detainers FILED, about 2500 deadbeats actually show up in court, about 50 of those mount any kind of "defense" that might earn them a "stay of execution".Of the 2450 that "lost", fewer than 50 are still around when the constables show up (one day before actual moving day-to avoid hassles) to warn them the "the truck is coming tomorrow" and maybe 10 of them are still around when the truck comes.My tenants always KNEW I meant business, so I've only ever been in court 4 times, only ever had ONE tenant show up, she mounted a "dog ate my homework" defense, the judge said, "all cash wins-out you go" and they moved on Friday and Saturday.
