<p class="MsoNormal">I have a client who is looking for a “true” financial advisor.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">He’s not looking for a stockbroker or anything like that, but rather, someone who can look at his situation and advise on things like whether to sell or refinance his house. Whether to do a 1031 of a rental property, etc…. He is not a
wealthy person, but still needs legitimate advice. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anyone know of anyone who can do that kind of advising? <o:p>
