time to sit down with a wealth manager .. your truly wealthy..

If you want a good income, you have to go for the best managers, not the cheapest.There are two markets in Playa del Carmen: the market for the local population and the market for foreigners and wealthy Mexicans.

My take was to focus on not wasting money on the artifacts that traditional society (and American marketing) considers a wealthy person should own and that you should optimize your financial resources to what brings you true happiness.

Rentals for future wealth is my ideal plan.

I've worked in PM companies ranging from mom and pop all the way up to operations which manage thousands of units in very wealthy neighborhoods.

I understand that on BP there is a culture that paid workshops are unnecessary and scams, however I have found them very educational and useful.
