I own a fully paid-off home valued at around $275,000, but that's all I have. my credit is poor, and I’ve had minimal income over the past couple of years, which doesn’t reflect much creditworthiness.

I've consulted a few times over the years with planners and with the way I buy properties, my liquidity requirements, and my concerns about about how government overspending affects the future, makes me a poor candidate for IRAs and 401(k)s with the stifling regulations.

Also, I noticed his office has poor controls over sensitive data.
