You don't have to have a College Degree, but some gray around the temples and crow feet around the eyes has an air of authenticity and experience. 

@Darlene DodsonIf I was savvy enough, I would place a Nike swoosh here in the comment “Just Do It”.

I'm hoping to authentically connect with investors & other wholesalers, as well, who are looking to make some deals happen.At the moment I have a 6 unit in the South Shore for sale that brings in $60k/year Gross.

Seriously.Do you see Nike, send out DMM in colorful envelopes?

A few other positive things:If you have a home office it creates authenticity with the IRS and can diminish potential push-back you could get by claiming the deduction.Using an EIN helps prevent identity theft - stealing an EIN happens, but isn't as common. 

What we have found is that when you go off the beaten path, developing neighborhoods with authentic culture and community and meet that authenticity with your product and design that you not only get a better product but better returns.

@Cody Richard be genuine and authentic, and use BiggerPockets as much as possible.

Do you see Nike/BMW/Levi's/Apple putting up bandit signs?

Be like Nike and just do it .

Be authentic and don't be a pushy sales guy.
