Anything i would like assisted with i always ask what do you charge so no i am not looking for a hand out.

You are a representative of your broker, client and company as well as yourself.I do not wear a cross/star of david/hand out pamphlets/give out cookies shaped like nude women/pull into a driveway blasting "Death Metal" or wear a T-Shirt that says "What are you looking at Du#$@**" when looking at or showing a house.

Get used to providing your financial information that you normally wouldn't hand out.

To assuage those applicants who don't get the unit, offer to give them a copy of the report.Another suggestion to help weed out applicants who wouldn't qualify is post some of your rental criteria in your ad and also hand out a copy when you are doing showings.

You decide where you put your time and energy - as others have pointed out, your frustration is understandable... but having read thru most of the thread, I'd imagine there's a chance you wish you would've just continued ignoring the people you perceived as expecting a handout.. lesson learned (and shared for the rest of us!)

Rich, happily behind conservatives, less free handouts and less govt.

When you get your deals ready and put packages together you can hand out a card or just put your info on the sheet with your deal.  

I did a trade show one day and was glad I was next to them. 

(plus the convenience of not finding another roommate is involved so that is why discounts are handouts but rather a mutual benefit)

Don’t expect handouts. 3) Let the relationships you build happen organically through your network.
