How to know your investment strategy???

[Jon Roland]

So I continue to read real estate & business books and listen to podcasts and read blogs. I have attended a local reia meeting and look forward to attending more. I am uncertain about a couple of things. 1) I want to have business cards, but have not really set up a business structure or even come up with a name. What are your recommendations with regard to to this item? 2) I think I am going to be a buy and hold investor. I have been in project and facility engineering roles and feel that is a very comfortable transition for me personally. Is there a good strategy to figure out the type of investor that is a good fit for you? Thank you very much in advance for your feedback.

In terms of business cards, just have your name on it and your contact information. It’s not fancy, but it doesn’t need to be.

As to what strategy makes sense for you, if you are familiar with what the general types of investing are and you are naturally gravitating towards one it is a good bet that is what is right for you. You don’t necessarily have to do it to rule it out. For example, I know I could never be a wholesaler because I don’t enjoy negotiations or marketing. Know your personality, and that will help guide you to the right strategy.
