Hello everyone, We are just starting to learn how to invest in real estate.the first step we would like to take is to make business cards. Since my husband and I are a team, should we make the combined business card ? ( both of our names and phone numbers will be on the card) or should we have 2 separate business cards for each of us ? Thank you for your advice and opinion.

Mami Banting , in all honesty, business cards are the last thing you need to worry about.

Get your team and systems in place first.

Order decent quality cards later for $20 bucks online. And at that price its a no brainier to be able to afford a set each.

Hello and welcome to BP!  I think you can go either way if y'all are true Partners.  Just keep them simple and have your name, possible website address, and nothing fancy like a brand.  Good luck to you both!

Go to www.godaddy.com and play with domain names...

mami&davebuyhouses.com

mamibuyshomes.com

If you can find a "cutesy" one that is easy to remember... register it, then use that same tag to get an email address from one of the free providers.

When you have the domain and the e-mail address to receive, then get business cards.

At that point you will have the contact info required for the card and you can get a website later.

It's not about having a card, it's about establishing an identity long term.

Go on the internet and download a business plan template... Fill it in with the information that describes what you want to be doing. (It will also help you figure out what you DON'T want to be doing.

Treat this like a business, not a hobby.
