Do you use regular posterboard for the signs you make yourself, or some other material?

Thanks!

Can anybody tell me how to find a steady supply of preforeclosures?

Thanks!

Try bandit signs. I usually put 20-25 out per week where I live and get 10-15 calls per week. Out of those I go on 5-7 appointments and actually close 2-3 deals per month. You have to find pre-foreclosure opportunities before they make it to someone’s database. Remember, there are hundreds if not thousands of people using the same lists.

I am a newbie myself, so excuse this very basic question. but what is a bandit sign? Are you referring to the I buy Homes type posters?

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply.

Have you had any legal issues with the bandit signs?

Did you make the signs yourself or have them printed?

Thanks,

I have not had any legal issues with the signs. My biggest problem is other “investors” who either knock my signs down or blatantly put their signs in front of mine. I’m still working on solving that problem.

I have my signs printed but from time to time I do order blak signs and write on them myself.
