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?

@Ben Zimmerman the numbers sparked my interest, and maybe if I lived closer to the property, I would likely pull the trigger.

  (1) the Philly market was so hot I kept getting outbid and (2) I was hesitant to 'pull the trigger' and raise my initial offers. 

My husband and I have been talking about purchasing an investment property for several years and decided it’s finally time to pull the trigger.

Are you investing your Stash into index funds and later pulling it out when you are ready to pull the trigger on a RE deal?

Instead of refinancing our properties at the moment will we get HELOC’s for a sense of security and able to pull the trigger on a great deal.

If I ever did anything that triggered capital gains I would probably set 30% aside in a savings account just in case. 

So, I've read quite a bit about real estate over the past few months and I'm really wanting to pull the trigger and get my first rental property soon and was looking for suggestions on where to begin, or if i should buy a primary residence first.A little about me:I currently live in Louisville, KY.
