With low fee Walmart brokerages like Solid Source and Duffy Realty here in Atlanta..

Not excited about Radio Shack or Sherwin Williams.At least in my state those brands have been dying off and closing down.You need to drive a 2 mile ring radius and know what COULD go in there if they fail and for what price after TI improvements.Non-recourse is great but you still have to put a chunk of cash down so have to make sure and protect the down payment.For paint unless you are in an affluent area most people go for Home Depot,Lowe's,Wal-mart for cheap prices.Same thing with Radio Shack unless it is a specialty part you cannot get anywhere else.I would really want to see their financials for that location of both businesses and how they have been performing over a span of time.

As it is increasingly simple to deploy nationwide, with instant communications etc, efficiency enters the market and drive down returns in other words we are the local hardware store and Wal Mart just opened a store across the street.

I felt paying $57 per exterior door lockset was prett ridicolous at Lowes and Home Depot...Just happen to be strolling through wal mart and noticed a almost identical oil rubbed bronze set cost $27.00The oil rubbed bronze passage and privacy locks were also 40-50% cheaper...Cabinent hardware....

Welcome Edward, To anwser your question about bandit signs, make your own signs get the materail from Staples, Office Depot, or Walmart cost a few bucks per sign Saves time and money.

Why shop at Wal-Mart when they can buy your brand?

I'm planning to change all the central A/C by just disabling them and put windows A/C that cost $110 at Walmart.

Yellow letters Walmart sells like a 3 pack and white envelops at the 99 cent store...walmart also has 40 envelopes for like 88c.AS FAR as learning how to wholesale...read a bit on bigger pockets to get the general idea and mechanics.

I like to joke to my friends "It was the house that Wal-mart built!" 

Get a magnetic sign and put it on your car and put the car at a Local Walmart!
