Business cards

[Gabriel Mercedes]

As a newbie and still learning the language of the real estate investor game,I know attending meet ups and networking is a good way to meet possible mentors my question is should I have business cards with me if so what type of info should be on it?? Help please

My suggestion is to keep it very simple. 

If your don't know how to solve the problems that Brian mentioned, don't list them.

If you don't own real estate yet, don't represent that you're an investor.

If you've never purchased and wholesaled a property, don't state that you're a wholesaler.

If you are still figuring out what you're going to do, consider yourself a "lead generator " aka bird dog. The public does not understand that title, so I suggest you leave that off, too.

May I suggest:

Your name

Phone #

Email (not too clever, but business-like).

I started in 1978 and done pretty well, however I never got around to picking a title. I just got home from a high-end a East Coast seminar where I counted at least 3 Billionaires. I don't think any of them were concerned with having a title. Why are you any different?

Best of success to you!
