Can I buy less bandit signs?

[tbodley74]

I am looking online to see where to buy bandit signs. I don't want the huge bulk amount of signs. I won't need the 25-100 signs because I will not be using all of those signs. I don't even have 25 to 100 places I can think of to place the signs around my area. Then it wouldn't be any use anyway if the bandit police take my signs or order me to remove them. I can't afford to go through the trouble removing every last sign I posted in many different areas around town. Is there anywhere I can buy bandit signs and stakes individually without paying for big bulk loads?

I figure I can post at least one sign in a good spot to see what results I will get before buying more. A lot of the signs I saw online are already prewritten with "WE" BUY HOUSES.  I will be the one investing in houses on my own, so there is no need to throw "WE" in there. I know exacty the size and color I want for my signs.

you should search for local sign makes, I just recently purchased the coro plast signs for a little over a dollar a sign, also to save some money instead of using the metal stakes, look into getting the 2x2 surveyor stakes at your local home depot.

I hear the 18x24 signs get better results because they are easier to read when people are passing by at 30-50 mph. Would a 2x2 stake work well with a sign that big?

You can get a small run of signs printed up at Kinkos. If you go to their website, you can research all of the pricing details. Hope this helps.

Thanks. Although I was able to get a least one bandit sign I been searching for at a Lowe's store.

My first question is why not?  If you aren't going to put up signs consistently, don't even bother - you won't be happy with the results.

We put up about 100 signs per month and get around 50 calls.  And our signs stay up a long time because we nail them up on poles...

Because I would have to keep putting them all up and keep taking them all back down so they won't be taken away by the bandit police. I may consider changing my strategy by using business cards or magnets.

yeah, if you are worried about someone taking them down, signs may not be your strategy...

good luck...

I see a lot of signs posted on the telephone poles. Where do I get those signs and the staples to post them on the poles? I see those things staying up for days with no one taking them down.

Aren't they a little bit outdated?

tbodley put up the bandit signs on vacant houses or property and also put it where other people post up signs. It's not illegal to post signs up on vacant houses...If the bandit police take your signs down off a pole no problem. By that time, you may have gotten multiple deals to choose from and i'm sure it wouldn't hurt after that to take your sign down...A wise investor told me try putting signs up every weekend say on a friday and taking them down by the monday to avoid the bandit police. Best wishes! I myself am also getting into bandit signs as a marketing strategy this weekend! Aiming at 50 signs.

You're on the right track. Tbodley isn't.

Tbodley you can't be successful in this or any business by putting your pinkie toe in the water. 50 bandit signs should be the absolute minimum if you're serious about doing this. If you won't even consider doing 25 (even if you're in a rural area) then you're just putting your toe in the water.

If you don't want to lose the signs you need to be willing to put 'em out on Friday and pull them up on Sunday evening. If you aren't willing to go through the "trouble" of doing that, nor will you pay someone else to do it, then like Cincyben says maybe bandit signs aren't your thing. That's not a problem (there are other ways to get calls), but frankly I see a bigger problem...seems you want this business to be easy...you're not willing to put in the work or make the sacrifice...that's a problem.

Yea I agree nsu1997. Judging from tbodley's other post I see that you're looking for shortcuts and not going full force. You have to treat this like any other business to gain success. You either will have to go hard, reap success and retire young, or start slow, reap sorrow and retire at 60.

Exactly. There's no other way. He's gotta stop making excuses, invest in his education, be willing to take massive action, make sacrifices, and blow through or find a way around the inevitable obstacles and road blocks. If that's not your attitude then you just won't make it. Simple as that. I can tell by your posts you get that.

Never bought less than 50 bandit signs in my entire career...usually bought them in 100 or more. Even when money was tight. I put them out myself in the middle of the night (to minimize the chances of getting hit by a car or getting pulled over by the cops). So for him say he won't even consider buying 25 at one time and can't bother with pulling them up on Sunday makes me SMH.

Exactly right - this is the attitude you have to have.

We put up 20-25 every Saturday morning - and usually 1 of our deals every month comes from these signs...
