QR codes are great for products and menu items if users need more info. As to being used on signs... i dunno about that. you have to take out your phone, launch an app (assuming you have an app that reads qr code), point and click (w/enough lighting and focus/distance) just to get to your data.

that said, you can use that coupled with a ph# AND website that's easy to remember... most importantly is tracking your leads. w/today's tech, you can easily qualify/quantify the effectiveness of your medium by use of link tracking / web analytics and ph# tracking ... that's the only way you'll truly know which medium is working best for you or at least how effective they are for people getting back to you.

btw, i say menu items (i.e., restaurants - if ppl want to know nutritional data, origin, price, reviews, etc.) or products (i.e., similar to restaurants if you're at a grocery/food place OR for mfr data, reviews, coupons, rebates, price check, etc.)... note that above mentioned uses are typically where you're not in a car or getting a single letter/post card that you're reading (and you have to pull out your phone just to scan the qr code vs. typing in a url or ph# just to call/get more info). if i were to guess, qr code is best used for more data on items OR as a shortcut to some long url link that would save the user time than typing it in.

this is the gov's direct feedback on school performance:

API for California Schools

I'd do a search on google for similar in your area: "xxx department of education"

like other dem sites do w/census data, i'm sure the school comp sites (i.e., greatschools, school rankings, etc.) take that data and piggy back on top of it w/their special formula to provide school district data/performance.

haha... sounds like you guys are talking about a legend... a mythical man-beast who will eat you alive in the auctions! :)

I think that's a GREAT way to get your feet wet and some traction. I'm looking into doing the same.

sorry... I didn't know your thread grew (i didn't see til i was browsing the forum)! haha... anyway, you weren't kidding about not having a rei group in your area! looks like you have a few good starting points mentioned by others. Definitely look into using MEETUP! great resource... i did a quick search for you:

real estate groups in meetup

wonder if there's opportunity for you in your area. the fact that there are NONE found in your area could be a great opp for you to start one after you connect w/rei pro's in the area to have such a group started in your neighborhood!

good luck in your search.

ethics... i heard that somewhere... some csi type show... or was it some philosophy class in college? what's ethics?

America once had a strong sense of it... the direction and trend the way the country has been going in the last 20yrs definitely shows most of the country prolly doesn't know what the word is either! :) but that would be under another post for another day... filed somewhere under politics or philosophy or dream or something...

I ddnt see what ken larchers was referring to. U musta alrdy complied w his warnings! Haha.. darn..

haha... and I was ready to do as the experienced pros do (good excuse, I know), and drink me up a bourbon for breakfast too! :)

thx for the minor detail clarification haha.

bourbon so early in the day/morning? yikes!

don't forget to supplement your online reading with some local support and real face networking in your own backyard with a local rei group!

definitely better start networking and eventually partnering w those who have what you'll need... that or marry rich.. then it's kinda little or no money originating from you :)
