Has anybody here been putting bandit signs out around Nashville TN?  Do they enforce their codes and track you down when they find your signs?

Yes they either call you to tell you they will fine you, or they collect your signs and wait for you to pull a permit. Sometimes it takes awhile for them to catch up to you. If I put them out now, I put them out Friday afternoon and pick them up Sunday late afternoon.

    I used then in a previous business of mine and noticed it was more hassle then it was worth. They are not cost effective at all. Most of the times  if they were  at busy intersections they would be taken down before the day was over. Then you have to deal with them calling and yelling at you for putting them up. Over all I do not recommend them.

    OK  Thanks for your input!

    It does seem like a big time-sucker!

    Put an ad on Craigslist for someone to hang.  You will get 10 call in one day.  I have paid $1 a sign.

    @Martin S. 

    Could you clarify a bit please? It looks like a typo there.

    Are you saying to put an a on craigslist asking for someone to put up signs for you? 

    You've found people to do this for you for $1.00 a sign? 

    Thanks!

    I agree with Micah in my experience they get taken down way to fast here to be worth it. It used to be that I could put them up in some of the rougher parts of Nashville and they would stay up but not anymore.

    Bandit signs are trash, they look like trash, and give this industry a sketch image. Everyone knows the numbers are Google numbers and can't be traced. Many places now won't even give you a permit for them unless you're licensed realtor or commercial. Do business legitimately. You see Papa John's or Great Clips sneaking around with signs trying not to get caught? Lol it's ridiculous. If you really want a bandit sign, pony up and buy a billboard.

    Ben Travis, so many investors recommend them and get leads and calls for them, why do you say that? 

    Papa Johns and Great Clips are a little bigger than your start up real estate investor trying to get a few properties as well.
