Better than Bandits??
Just speaking from my personal, recent, experience in my local farm area...
This strategy worked better for me than putting out bandit signs.
Got a home under contract and marketed in several ways. Here are 2:
1. Put out 50 yellow, hand-written bandits in the area;
Received 2 calls, 1 from another wholesaler, picked up 1 possible future buyer;
Total Investment: 2.5 hrs and $150
2. Sent 25 flyers with details of the property in an invitation envelope to cash homebuyers within 1 mile of subject property; Received 3 calls within 4 days, picked up 3 active cash-buyers;
Total Investment: 2.5 hrs and $20
Take-aways: Sending the flyers means less money, more serious, and proven, cash-buyers, I'm assuming some kept the flyer and may call when ready to purchase (bandits are gone), and there's a better chance I can follow up with those who received the flyer.
Just thought I'd share my results...
