ANd generalyl speaking in order to do a private Placement Memorandum (PPM) someone on your team should be a licensed investor advisor representative (IAR, SEC licensed with a Series 63 and/or 65) with a registered broker-dealer. .Stick with people you know Curt, (and document your meetings and phone calls with them too) and let word of mouth do the rest.

When I opened the door to the basement, the smell of cat urine/feces was so strong that I had to pull my shirt up over my mouth and nose like Bazooka Joe.

You have zero existing connections and no past experience in the area to back yourself up.If you came across one of those killer, mouth-watering deals and didn't have to cash to buy it yourself...

I would rather listen to Fran Drescher and a homeless guy with a mouthful of Cheetos do play by play for a women's basketball game.I had never listened to any of the podcasts yet.

I had a guy complain to me that he put out 30,000 pieces and didn't get a single deal, I told him to try 300 and follow up 7 times and he got 2 deals, and was much happier.

Walk lighter through your day, judge less, be happier and enjoy the short time that you are here.Have a blessed day!

Also with this being a small town do you think it would be a good idea for a small picture of me and my wife on the cards, I'm thinking more of a personal touch because of reputation and familiarity of us by word of mouth?

IE word of mouth and relationships.Advertising is a big problem for real estate folks AND regulators throwing water on fraud.One national training group, "Bank elimination blueprint" by Daniil (??)

Marketing momentum won't put food in your mouth.

So if you ask me if I would be willing to sell, don't complain if I know something about the market and refuse to give it away.You will be happier if you just train yourself to be happy you are getting responses, and not to get upset about people YOU made contact with, "wasting your time."
