I'm not too familiar with MI. Let me do my research tomorrow and I will contact you either way.

Jeffrey, point made. However, mine was/is a good deal.

If there's an owner or phone number listed, call and ask for permission. If not...I've just placed them.

I just quit claimed a property last week.....a lot easier than what I thought it would be.

Disclosed everything to my buyer and she brought the money to the closing table for me. Closed with my seller, got my deed recorded, did quit claim deed, recorded that. Done deal....will repeat as often as I can!

I've never been fined for placing them. Another thing I do is talk to people I know that own businesses on main roads and place the bandit signs on their property, that way the city cannot take them down, and you are not in violation of any laws. Vacant lots on main roads work too.

By the way, something I've been meaning to share with everyone. My buyer's list has increased by about 30 people with this one particular set of signs we put out. I could not explain why....until I realized we got a phone number that was easy to remember! We bought a MagicJack, chose our own phone number ending in 7000 and have received lots of calls EVERYDAY!

Well Mark (Claire) I won't be the one spending my time convincing you of anything.

If you have your properties under contract and have control over them I don't see what the big deal is if you post the address on here, who knows, you might not get competition, you might find a.....BUYER!

Well anyways, good luck to you.

I disagree with you Mark, and considering I've only been in this real estate game for a year and a half I take offense to your comment of "who wants a bunch of new investors mixing into their area?"

I give BiggerPockets a lot of credit for my success. I joined it during the beginning of my real estate journey. I have learned a lot from people here, for FREE. That's why I have chosen to give back my experiences and what I have learned.

I also networked with investors in my area. When I first began I put an ad on craigslist stating I was looking for a real estate mentor and that I was willing to share 50% of my profit with him if he helped me close a deal. I found one, and guess what, I never closed a deal with him but he still answers my calls, emails me, and has taken the time to teach me what he knows.

I was once told that FREE advice is the best advice out there. The man who gave me this advice was a very successful man with a lot of money. I have no fear of competition, this market is very rewarding and that is why a lot of us choose to give right back.

What I sense from you is fear that your market is small and that there won't be enough deals for everyone. Well, in that case, expand your market, think outside the box. If you search through BiggerPockets you will see the numerous ways there are to be successful.

You said that "I guess as things progress for me personally and deals are more frequent and involve more money I may change my attitude"........so you might be willing to share when you have more? Hmmm...... :roll:

As for getting it for a 100 bucks GOOD JOB...

Thanks Adrian, that's what I'm excited about! The price! :lol: Buildable lots in my area are selling for around $4,500 - $5K. People here do not believe that since they were selling for $50-80K just some years ago. No it is not buildable at this moment. Again, I am in an area that is still developing and I've been attentive to the plans that the city has released, there is a lot that is going to be happening here in the next few years. I can wholesale it, I know that is an option. If I find someone who wants it, I might sell it, but I won't concentrate my marketing on it right now.

Robert....good idea rooting for Orlando. Superman just got named Defensive Player of the Year!!!

I'd like to see the Blazers go far in the West......

Where is everyone? No Cavalier or Lakers fans?

I was just excited I bought a lot for $100! Not planning on selling it at this point.

It's in an area where a developer had gone in to clear out the land, paved the roads and was going to begin building, but obviously stopped. Wonder why....

Mitch, thanks for the suggestions, however, with the area it's in, there are NO houses around, or traffic for that matter, so none of those ideas will work for me. I could possibly rent it out as a landing spot for UFOs though.... :green:
