Because the property was close to transit, the parking requirements were substantially reduced.He put up a banner offering his houses as condos and grossed about $750K.

So after installing phones and internet, I purchased a banner and started leasing out spaces.

Nick and others in on the generosity -You just KNOW that Josh LOVES this - because he put in a link to this thread in the BANNER areas on the forum!

I have looked a bit at banners online, to replace the current 8x11 inch red and white 'for rent' sign.

Of course you need to make certain you can put a sign on it - but even a "lot for sale" sign and then under it an advertisement for whatever you do - seems worth it.If I could buy a lot, in a heavily populated area, for $435 - I would scoop it up if I could put a sign or banner on it.Things to consider:1.

Sized to cover the contact information on your existing sign, print your contact information and overlay the generic stuff.When I was licensed, I would take one of the office's generic signs, or even the custom signs of long gone realtors, and overlay my name and phone on the sign.Another method would be to use a banner.

Some Russian grocery store chain, or probably really their ad people, grabbed the picture and used it in banners they put up in their stores.

There was a banner and everything...how did you miss that?

Hi Matt, I find deals using direct mail, internet marketing, banners on our ongoing rehabs, referrals and the MLS.
