A shack of a home in Vancouver west home can go for 2.4 million dollars. http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2016/01/29/point-grey...http://www.vancouversun.com/news/protesters+rally+...While I do believe that investing is a good thing, Chinese who buy homes and leave them empty  can destroy a business section in the area.

I understand a stick-built home is more attractive for brokers because it'll be more expensive, thus more commission.

Unless this type of tenant was the only ones I would attract, I would get them out asap and find the type of tenant that would pay rent ontime AND take care of my home.

I am looking to purchase in the $2 million range and expect to hire a property manager for the property.  

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.

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.
