Again, its my opinion that those signs are unneeded, do they work (Yes), but would I personally stick to societal norms to reach out to individuals who half the time do not even look up from their cellphones while driving, no. 

If that doesn't work for you then you can always drive for dollars on weekends and look for houses that are abandoned looking or in disrepair then look up the owners address on the tax assessor site and write him/ her a letter stating that you would like to purchase their house if they are interested in selling.

For all the locals, drive west on 10 mile and you'll see what I mean.

Without sustained wage growth, rents can only climb so high.

Investor agents sell a dream too, but it is just a much more sustainable one :-).

You might want to drive and observe on those neighborhoods at 6-7pm.

I'm a total newbie, but one way that works is noticing signs on intersection posts while driving. 

Being a few minutes drive outside of East Mt.

The rosy pro-formas touting above market rents to last forever year after year is a loser as it is not sustainable.

People may want to drive by the house before calling.
