Is there a dress code?

Good question -- I'm in the same boat and will be going to an REIA meeting on Tuesday.I have business cards for my fitness instruction business that I will bring along.My big question is --- do people dress up?

Ultimately, this is future refinance all dressed up and made complicated.  

always verify - verify and verify everything - rent, expenses and the history of the property you are considering getting involved with.How many days on the market - known as DOM, how many times has the price been reduced, read the comments section of the listing - ask the agent why it has not sold.Talk to the listing agent - gather information - why has it not sold, what are the problems with the building, what is the zoning, why is owner selling, how much will they financing, how much will the seller contribute to settlement cost, can you have possession before settlementAsk what the balance of the mortgage is - see if you can do a "subject to" and seller financing for the balance of their equityAlways act professional - look and dress like a pro -Remember when you are asking questions - you are in control - when they are interrogating  you, they are in control. 

Dress professionally.

It's all about "how to dress up a box!"

Hint: (more professional style of dressing).Something as simple as a solid color golf shirt with your company logo and a pair of well pressed tan pants might go along way--because first impressions count.Nothing wrong with what you have on in the picture, (for a backyard BBQ or etc...), but it is possible if you're trying to do money business, a little more professionalism might help.Then again maybe not, because you still have to find and get to know people you can partner with.Good Luck!

It's harder to be rude to a nice-dressed person at your door smiling.

I couldn't dress myself due to severe pain and swelling in every joint.

No need to dress up, no meetings and you can work from home in your PJ's.Your most important assets is your energy, negotiating skills and knowledge of contracts and the ability to make wise and profitable decisions.
