Using Bandit Signs

Eric B.

I am a new real estate investor; haven't bought or sold my first house yet. But I do have a mentor, and one of the techniques he advises for the selling side of wholesaling single family houses is bandit signs. He says there is no better way to find buyers.

But here's the thing: does anybody know how well bandit signs work in wholesaling houses on the south and southwest sides of Chicago? I am a Premium Elite Member of MyHouseDeals.com, and have access to tons of buyers, but as far as Chicago is concerned, most of them are interested in Chicago's north side, Chicago suburbs and northwest Indiana.

Keep in mind I haven't tried bandit signs yet. But I do have a hundred of them ready to go in my living room. I guess I'm a little hesitant because if my virtually unlimited list of MyHouseDeals buyers showed very little interest in wholesale deals on the south and southwest sides of Chicago, do I really have good reason to believe bandit signs will work better?

Anyone who can offer me input on the subject will be extremely helpful to me!
