Justin - do you hand write on each one, or do you use a printer?

Well, on the side of the road I mean :lol: Having a mobile printer, will let me print out a new sales contract without having to drive back to my house or office if a correction is needed.The other thing I might do is move my cell phone onto its own plan and get unlimited minutes.

You don't need to write them...there are templates to do it with a printer.

I just go to the local IRS office, get a bunch of blank 1099 forms, and write them out by hand (I don't do enough to make it worthwhile to buy the Quickbooks compatible forms, plus I think they require a special type of printer).It's just in the future, the number of 1099 and W-9 forms that I will have is going to increase a bit.

All the Microsoft products and most applications allow you to print to a fax, if you have an all-in-one style printer.

BryanEverything you said it so true but i was just thinking now that everyone has a computer and printer and that people might not turn a way from a printed letter or even one with a graphic.

They want a printer. 

I plan to go to the library on my off days for a couple hours just to read these books to keep the motivation.Also I just set up my GV number and voicemail, made up a simply voicemail for all the direct mail saying Hey you reached john if your calling regarding your house please leave your name number property address thanks have a good day..I am waiting on my printer to be shipped but have a list of 330 names still I am going to begin handwriting these envelopes today while I wait for my printer to come in..

Some more things to consider:If you plan to get your RE license, expect to pay monthly fees to your broker, as well as annual fees to the MLS and potentially your local board of realtors.If you plan to rehab, you're going to want some basic tools (even if you hire contractors to do the work).If you plan to network, have money set aside to take investors to lunch.If you plan to do a lot of deals, you probably want to set up a corporate entity and ensure that you have liability insurance.If you plan to get your license, you'll need a fax machine and dedicated fax line or a fax service to send and receive offers.If you plan to get your license, budget for printer ink (it's expensive, and this business is currently tough to take paperless).

I already have a printer/copier/scanner with no fax, and I have a cordless phone.
