Tom, I used to work in insurance, and I had a (wealthy) customer who bought a Ferrari, but who was afraid to drive it much because the resale value drops significantly with every passing mile.

Though there is absolutely nothing wrong with building personal wealth, I think, as you've come to see, that financial goals alone, are ever moving and never ending.  

If you are talking to wealthy people re: Private Lending, the best book I know is "Values Based Selling" by Bill Bacharach.

We really do live in an interruption culture.

Occasionally I meet good 'ole boys who are anti-women and I meet some guys from other countries where culturally being a woman means you are assumed submissive, but for the most part the guys love the girls.

Keen intuition and observation skills.14 years as "Accessibility Services Manager" at a major medical center, providing accommodations for people with disabilities and language/cultural support services.

However, most of the time these homeowners who have multiple properties are sharp, wealthy individuals who have retained councel and advise from their CPA's and they understand that they will probably have to pay some sort of difficency judgement and will be issued a promissary note.

I need a vehicle that can drive long distances at the drop of a hat without having to worry about 30 minute stops every 200-300 miles to recharge.Would I consider a Tesla if I was as wealthy as some of the big boys on this thread and could afford multiple vehicles? 

Unless you have a LOT of money in the game, and really deep pockets and resources (wealthy relatives), you can find detailed and more tailored support for 25% of that 20k price tag.

I don't want to get more wealthy by preying on those that are far more vulnerable.
