You might think that buying a used electric vehicle is the same as buying any other used car, but there are a few important differences. Look, buying a gasoline vehicle with a combustion engine has been the same for a hundred years, right? From the early 1900s to the early 2000s, right? Being a used car purchaser in 1923 was not much different than in 2023. You have to check out the vehicle, make sure it is in good shape, negotiate a price, haggle, and buy the car. You’re done. However, electric vehicles are a little different.

In this episode, we'll discuss why the process of buying an EV requires different considerations than buying a traditional gas-powered vehicle.

What does the future hold for property prices and housing affordability? The number of home-building permits is falling, and the national single-family home-building permits are down by 12%. Even before this decline, the housing market was still short by 5 million single-family homes from what is needed to satisfy the market's demand. This will only create even more of a shortage of homes in the coming years, especially with the population also increasing.

In this episode, we'll discuss the projection of the housing shortage by 2030 and discuss how at this rate of construction, the housing shortage crisis is not expected to end any time soon without major intervention.

If you are a licensed private investigator or looking to hire one, one of the key terms to be aware of is “pretexting.” Pretexting is essentially the act of pretending to be someone else or fabricating a false story in order to gather information. Pretexting, in and of itself, is not illegal. However, it may be deemed illegal if it is employed to obtain information within specific categories.

In this episode, we'll provide a real-life example of a case we investigated that involved pretexting, how we discovered it, and what happened to the party that was found to be illegally pretexting.
