You should read the newbie manual near the top of the newbie discussion board. Get a VIP membership and do your homework on the providers.
Agencies maybe an easier route for a newbie without any provider reference. You can also go thru verification services such as P411, Date-Check or RS2K. Since you are in Dallas, I would go with P411.
If you need more help, either PM me, available only if you have VIP on TER, or email me at [email protected] since I am also in the DFW area. Good luck & be safe.
Don't know if this is something better for the Dallas board but, since I'm a newbie, I thought it best to post here. I'm getting started with the hobby (first visit is tomorrow with an indy) but get the sense that going to an agency is an easier way to get the "seal of approval". In reading some agency provider reviews, however, I note references like "mattress on the floor next to the wall", which isn't at all what I'm looking for. How common is this environment? What's the best way, if you utilize an agency, to ensure you don't walk into a film noir movie set like that?
I've searched the boards on this and didn't see anything definitive so I apologize if I missed something. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
be sure you don't end up on a mattress on the floor.
I think the last time I did that it was 1985.
Mr Fisher is correct, gotta do your homework. Mattress on the floor can happen with agencies or indys, not cool in either case. LOL
