Now I am one and am confident in that label.  

I own 3 rental properties currently and am a Realtor so I'm labeled a "real estate professional" in the eyes of the IRS.

OK, my system might sound nuts but it is essentially a key organizer hanging in my garage, with all the properties labeled.

The other thing I'm concerned about is the liability of being labelled an "expert".

Sadly, despite what the gurus and late night infomercials might tell you, you aren't likely to make money in real estate without some money -- or lots of time and patience -- to begin with.I'm new to direct marketing, and there are hundreds of different things I want and need to try before I determine what my response rate and conversion rate likely are.For example, different sized envelopes/paper, color vs b/w, handwritten vs typed vs combination, biz card or no biz card, URL or just phone number, 100 different varieties of text/length of text/marketing angle, different color envelopes/paper, return address label on the front of the envelope or back, etc.I'll probably send 100,000 pieces before I know what works pretty well versus what doesn't work very well.

Like most newbies to BP, you read one or two posts and put a label on someone as a "wholesale hater", not true, you need to read more.
