"We Buy Houses" - do those signs actually work?

[Dave Versch]

Hi. I"m looking for ways to find cheap houses to rehab and flip in my area.  Has anyone had success putting up those "We Buy Houses" signs?

Thanks.

some folks swear by them some swear at them..

just check your county city codes make sure you don't get fined.

and give it a shot is what most would say...

I have called on a few over the years just because I was in my car and had blue tooth

usually no one answers and if they do they simply are not ready for prime time.. IE don't really know what they are doing or what to say.

so I would if I did this.. Answer live if at all possible..  have your pitch perfected so it does not sound like your reading off of a script..

depending on how competitive your area is  .. have your cash ready.. know how to write a contract asap .. put up bigger than normal EM so you beat your competition then close those suckers out.
