Investor Labeling
I was just wondering why would I need to put the label of investor on myself?
I am not licensed
I am not a professional (in progress)
I have a forty hour a week job other than investing.
I own many different kind of stocks and I dont label myself as an investor
Cant I just be a guy looking to own a few rental houses to supplement my income? or to expand my portfollio?
I get the feeling around my area that Investor BAD, average Joe smoe GOOD
Is there any bad legal trouble I can get into?
Do I have to tell the seller "I am an investor?"
I know it sounds stupid, but just wondering about placing an add stating
Local family in XXX county looking to buy fixer-upper homes.
I am looking for something other than
"I BUY HOUSES" blah blah blah
mainly because I think there are at least 10 different variations of that in local paper. and why would they call mine?
Food for thought please :-?

Another OR 'investor'. Hello.
As to the label. It has no legal standing. You could call yourself a lemon. The word investor is a label that tends to mean something to other investors in that we know what you are likely to be thinking when you view a deal.
Being difference can help in your advertising.
You just have to represent yourself honestly. There is a lot of room to then developer an ID within the range of honest labels.
