Any agent that uses "sold" comparable primarily when pricing property for sale, doesn't "get it".More important than what has happened in the past, is what is happening right now.

In a nutshell the premise of the whole book is that TIME is the real treasure, that work is a means to an end, and that your career "what you do" isn't as important as "who you are".He correctly points out that most people don't actually want to be millionaires, but rather they want what they think only a million dollars can provide.Way too many "gurus" make a pretty nice living convincing people they've got to make millions and while people have $ signs in their eyes and are looking at the yachts, and sports cars, and big houses in their inspired dreams, they miss the fact that the gurus are taking them for the few thousand bucks they've got.

One of the most important things is to speak with the proper persoan at the bank that handles what you are looking for, and as Mike said, use small local banks who provide commercial loans.
