However, there's an LPMA tradeshow on April 12th at the Hellenic center, 6pm-8pm.

Hand out your business card - one at a time. 

I am somebody who hit absolute 0, and within 2 years time jumped 5 years ahead of his peers with no support, insider influences or handouts having been involved.

I do 3-4 regional and state level trade shows and this year I am speaking at one!

Let me see if I can answer the questions as I see them being asked...It sounds like you had already worked through details as principals, when an agent from the company approached you with their hand out to be paid to see it through. 

Otherwise, you may find that after closing, the neighbor suddenly refuses to cooperate or holds his hand out for money to work with you. 

I think it is important to have a good quality professional business card (or cards depending on what you do), however just because you have an attractive business card does NOT mean you have a business.I like focus more on understanding what I am going to say before I hand out my card to anyone, instead of what my card says or looks like. 

Go to REIA meetings and hand out a I Buy Houses Indy bus card. 

This is a seasoned investor trying to get us in the game without giving a handout.

Is something like a stress ball handout or something similar worth it?
