REIA Meetup newbie etiquette

[Lucas Roe]

Hello everyone,

This is kind of a weird question but my fiance and I will be attending our first REIA meetup this weekend and it occurs to me that every businessman I've ever met says you must have business cards at networking events, and we have none.

Now my first thought is, we haven’t made our first deal and are still planning to pull the trigger in about 2 months, so it really feels sorta presumptuous to print off business cards which say anything real estate related.

On the other hand, having never really been to a meetup not related to my day job where I would totally have business cards, I’m unsure if it’s really bad etiquette not to have them.

So my quick poll is, as people who have done this way more than me, what do you guys think? Do you prefer a newbie to take the time to bring business cards? Or does it seem presumptuous?

Thanks,

Lucas
