I have seen signs that have part of the # cut out. That’s probably someone who has a personal problem with the signs … maybe another investor that fears competition or an angry citizen who doesn’t like the signs.

Either way, it’s a problem.

Can you post the signs higher up on the pole so that whoever is “cutting” part out can’t reach ‘em? Check out http://signhammer.com/ …. not sure if that would work or not but it’s an idea.

Also, you could post your signs in other areas and see if the results are similar.

I have a question/comment about bandit signs. There are ‘Foreclosure’ signs and “We buy houses” signs around my area, but someone always comes and cuts the telephone numbers off so you don’t see the last four digits of the phone number. Have you ever run into this? I don’t think it’s another investor because no other signs have been posted. Does the city do that if you don’t take your signs down? Any suggesstions on how to keep your signs visable for awhile?

Thanks,

You could definitely have the funds held in escrow if you think that’s best.

I’ve never had a problem with lenders backing out so I just inform the private lender of the time line and make sure they have the funds available when needed.
