Business cards

[Rudy Centeno]

I'm new to wholesaling and want to purchase some business cards before attending my first REIA. Unfortunately, I don't have a business name generated yet. Is it important to have a business name on your cards? Should I wait until I have a business name? What format should I use? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I think one of the biggest mistakes new investors. Especially wholesalers make is to think anyone gives two flips about the name of their business. If you are a wholesaler you are actually in two business. Buying Houses and Selling Houses and the two marketing pieces should not be combined.

You should have one card that specifically lets motivated sellers know that you buy houses. Period. "Cash For Houses"

You should have another card for the RE Meetings letting rehabbers and landlords know that you sell houses "Wholesale Houses".

Do not get the laminated cards because they are tough to write on and cost more. Keep both on you. You never know which you are going to run into.
