even if they are legal in your area, i still wouldnt recommend putting them in an angry owner’s yard. thatd be a waste of plastic, since these signs would disappear fast.

I want to put bandit signs outside of the n’hoods where we want to buy (like across the street from the entrance). If I get complaints from owners, what do I do? I can imagine someone calling wanting me to remove or they will report me. How do I handle that?

Keep in mind that Bandit signs are illegal in most places mainly because they are a distraction to motorists.
When people are looking at your sign their eyes are off the road and accidents are more likely.
Then again, if you make a huge $$$ deal, who cares?

Try it out. I don’t use a lot of signs to buy but I network with hundreds of other investors every year at conferences, etc. and I have concluded they always are cost effective for gettng calls and deals. Check you local ordinances but ususal they give a warning before a fine…usually.
I have strategically placed about 25 signs over the past few year (at a cost of $200) and bought 2 houses, making about $43,000 combined.
When placed on busy highways, they disappear fast in my area. I have better, less labor intensive marketing methods that keep me busy but signs work.

P.S. I use LOTS of signs to sell. Very effective. I prefer handwritten “For Sale By Owner, Owner can help finance” or “Rent to own” and pointer signs.

Charity,
First question to ask yourself, are bandit signs illegal in your town? Check the city ordinances. If they are not illegal and you place them in a spot where they can be legally placed, then I would tell any owner’s to go pound sand. Just watch out and stay totally legit!
Sincerely,
