Job title - fact or fiction

What's in a title? It's all about presentation.

 I mean, at 16 I was "VP of International Marketing" for my dad's small business. Reality - I printed and stuffed and sealed envelopes for his direct mailing campaigns and some of the addresses were in Canada, and my younger brothers were my "team". But we got a good chuckle out of the inflated title.

If you invest in Real Estate "on the side" and also work a full time job, do you list your real estate endeavors on things like Linkedin, Facebook, etc?  Have you gotten yourself business cards to give out at networking events? What title do you give yourself? Owner? President? CEO? VP of acquisitions? 

If you're doing this full time now and are all organized and stuff how did you start out presenting yourself professionally in this arena?  

Thanks!

I think the word investor gets tossed around here a lot more than it should. Plenty of people that seem to think they're investors after reading a book or two. Wholesaler is another popular title.... when it seems like by the questions that get asked they're not very proficient in their trade....
