How to keep codes from going after you?

I've had good luck with them in the past, especially lower end stuff. Most signs from me and competitors are in "Class C" areas.

Your average Class A seller isn't going to call a sign on a post.

Where to put them? Probably where most of the wholesalers in your town already have their signs posted. Look for a high traffic count street corner with a telephone pole to nail it to or get those little metal fence stands.

How to keep code away? Don't post bandit signs. ;-)

Or you can post them in yards of homes you already own. It's only a code issue in public spaces most times. Freedom of speech and all that....yadda, yadda...

One person I know has a TracPhone that only gets used as an inbound line for their bandit signs. It's not tied to any account anywhere. I suppose a highly motivated code enforcement person could ask a judge to subpoena records from Wal-Mart to find the name of the debit card used to buy minutes on those phones.... But I kinda doubt that happens. --173.19.x.xxx

This isn't the forum to discuss how to openly go against local sign laws so to prey on ignorant people.

You should be discussing this off line.

I welcome an open discussion.

Some things work, some don't. Some things are against the law, some aren't. How will we know if we don't discuss it?

Nobody is forcing anybody to sell or buy anything so what is the beef if somebody wants to dump their dump and I want to buy it? --137.119.xxx.xxx

Mine just says WE BUY HOUSES and my phone number,remember somebody has to be able to read it while driving by.Color is more important than wording.Blue and white and Black and white work for me,I tried red and white and my responses fell way off so I would never use red again.I have never tried it but I have heard that black and orange is supposed to work pretty well.I get 18x24 1 sided for about $200 for 100 signs delivered to my door --72.231.xxx.xxx

Hammer,

Signs work.

When I was actively marketing this way we put them in the yards of our project house.

We get them up wherever we can but not be obnoxious.

I have a house on a busy 4 lane highway with thousands? of cars going by each hour. I'm not anxious to finish that house because signs there work for me and nobody complains.

I think this is very local. Only one other investor in my town has such signs and he's not very active with them. I drive to other towns and see multiple signs on one utility pole.

It's just one of many ways to market.

2 speakers at Convention touched on this and I know it's in their course.

Awesome answers! Thanks.

I will get some ordered and put them in my yards.

Pretty sure there are no codes in the county based on the number of bandit signs lying about from the last election cycle. Ill test a couple at some busy locations and see how it goes. --137.119.xxx.xxx

Hammer,just so you are aware the hipocrit politicians pass laws saying political signs are legal but not our bandit signs but like I said earlier some don't push it as long as you don't put up too many.Also I used to have magnets on my truck and people would flag me down occasionally from them --72.231.xxx.xxx

I found you guys at the beginning of this google search.

Oily To Bed, Oily To Rise

(The idea of adding " I buy houses" signs to the countless "Vote for me" signs is great. That would be good fun.
