I may be naive in my thinking, but in going a lease option route, you are at least seemingly trying to attract longer term tenants with a hope of one day purchasing.

I need some advice for "attracting seller bandit signs."

The units are not the most attractive, but inoffensive.

I have knocked on doors(a summer gig), sold cars(successfully |salesman of the month out of 40 twice in 12months| & consistently just wasn't around enough winners to want to keep at it), worked in construction (I am currently helping renovate a home in Yakima, Washington), coached high school football, cleaned carpets (straight commission) and recently started a business online and learned several programming languages (HTML - CSS - JavaScript - Ruby - and bit of Python and backend database SQL stuff) and can design a fully responsive website from scratch.

This is short term financing specifically designed for this type of work.Besides...you can still make an offer with a financing contingency even if you're paying cash....your bank will only let you cash so many checks after all :-)

Hey Welcome to the real estate investing world, In my opinion you do not need much capital to begin wholesaling the most of your marketing dollars in the beginning will go towards direct mail campaign ( These can get a bit expensive but the return is great if done right )  So i would suggest getting your feet wet with wholesaling before jumping right in and spending massive dollars on marketing and just start with getting some bandit signs to attract buyers/sellers , and building a website to attract leads also and build from there.

You can use an FHA 203k loan which is a rehab loan with a higher interest rate that is designed for properties that need significant amounts of work.

All units are 4 bed / 1 bath with 10-12 designated parking spots.

@Scott DillardI think you're really on to something here, my one suggestion is to come up with at least one more buying scenario ... you want them to take something, just design scenarios that work for you, and let it rip.

Has anyone out there worked with branding their properties (specifically with a certain aesthetic, design feature, or actual signage)?
