For anyone who may be interested, it was an awesome night. I only put up half my signs, but I had a blast doing it. I learned some valuable lessons tonight.


1) drive the area and know exactly where you are putting them, don't trust Google maps to do it for you.

2) Have the signs ready. I bought the signs from the dollar store and wooden stakes at Home Depot. I didn't pre attach any signs to the stakes, so I was hunched in the back of my Minivan hammering signs to stakes. Have them ready. At least half of them. Some I put on poles too.

3) Wait till at least 1 am, that gives the local restaurants time to shut down and vacate the area. I had to circle back a couple times to some primo spots.

One question for the group. I live in a sort of college town, where there is a lot of student housing and such. How do guys feel about putting signs up on poles around the campus area?

Next week, I put the rest out. Now it is time to rest

So, I am taking my first big step into my new future carreer. I am going out tonight around 1 am and putting up my first batch of bandit signs. I'm very excited. I been sitting on them for about a week now. Anyone have any sage advice for a first timer before I head out?

@Ann Bellamy I am going to look into setting up my keywords. I definitly don't want to miss anything. I'm looking forward to going to your Waltham meeting next week and meeting you and everyone else.

@Shaun Reilly Thank you for letting me add you to my list. I have looked into all those REIA meeting. I've added a few of them to my calendar and do intend to go to as many as I can. I want to do as much networking as possible. I hope to see you at one. I like to meet and get to know all my buyers.

@Mike Hurney Thanks, I hope by interesting, you don't mean bad. I was on your site, and I added your next REIA meeting to my calendar. I look forward to going and meeting some cool people to network with.

@Justin Silverio Thanks for the advice. I have to say, there is so much information on this site, it is a bit overwhelming, but I just got to take it one step at a time and work through the info. I would love to add you to my buyers list. If it's ok with you, I'm going to message you a couple of questions in regards to what and where you buy.

Greetings to all,

My name is Wesley Toma-Lee, and I and am from the Merrimack Valley area in Massachusetts. I am brand new to real estate. I'm looking to start my career off as a wholesaler. Ultimately, I would love to get a rental portfolio going, and let that make me money. I also know there are sides of real estate that I have no idea about, so the skies the limit to were I want to go. In doing searches online for various sites and information, I stumbled upon this site, and I think it is a great resource so far.

So there is my introduction. I look forward to all the amazing interactions this site has to offer.

Thank
