I even gave her a 50$ home depot gift card at closing as a house warming gift .

I just passed my real estate license exam (just yesterday) and am looking into getting a credit card for business expenses.

This is probably a scenario best addressed with some combination of your credit cards, HELOC, private money from folks you've networked with, other stuff like that.

I was told and read here to pass out business cards everywhere and not leave home without them, especially as a beginner, to get your name out there.My question is where exactly can I pass these out?

for to the eviction hearings and hand out your business cards.

I'm wondering because most people (myself included) no longer have their original SS card.

I have bandit signs that stay up for awhile but I also get calls weeks or in some cases months later from leads that held on to my post card or letter.

See http://www2.county.allegheny.pa.us/RealEstate/Default.aspx for property cards.

Yellow letters vs post cards, short copy vs long copy, glossy vs plain text.

Very good Steve, when I had time in the past I would attend those free seminars and make a fool of them, then stand outside when he was done and hand out my cards...bet I picked up more clients than they did!
