It would be hard to pick out the true old money/truly educated individual as they have enough social grace/etiquette to not flaunt nor talk about their wealth publicly. 

To my mind, there are few things more ridiculous, more pathetic than a Greek flaunting his money.

My highschool prom was at the Hancock Bank in GP lol...Last name is Vines btw...

obviously not all investors resort to wholesaling tactics once they get ur attention by flaunting 'all-cash' offers and ' proof of funds' in the excess of millions, but with the advent of MLM in this broke hyperinflative economy, less people/businesses qualify for funding, yet more are inspired by multimedia advertising/marketing/networking to want to 'invest' anyways evenmoreso.  

OK  I know I sound like your Mom warning you about your first prom... 

Would you rent your house out to a local 18 year old for two nights during the peak of high school prom and graduation season who may or may not book using a pre-paid visa gift card?  

I am sure the big boys will comment on this.. but I think if you contact these folks and ask to borrow money on a single note single DT or an unsecured Prom Note your probably fine.each state though will be different..

In the words of Salvatore Buscemi, I have a date to the Prom and now I need a prom dress.

As long as they continue to flaunt their dislike of government interferace they will be targeted.

few items 1. treat them like you would a tenant.. full criminal back ground and credit check that you run.. if they wont submit to that then you have your answer.. once you get those and they look good that's first step2. depending on if your in an attorney or title and escrow state you can have Deed or mortgage recorded against the property and a prom note made out to you.3. make sure your not violating usury laws in the area.. if you are then you need a different type of arrangement.4. if there is a senior lender .. contact them let them know your going to be a junior lender and if they are going to have any problems letting you take over or communicating with you on loan balances.
