Hi. I'm new here. And I'm new to real estate. I am interested in wholesaling, possibly rehabbing down the road. I was googling about bandit signs and landed here. I've always felt queasy about them. Then when I invested in learning about wholesale marketing strategies, most say to use them. Well, they're illegal in my area, although I think a neon hot pink sign would be an eyecatcher. I found a great forum topic on them that was very helpful and that is what prompted me to sign up here. Very insightful contributions from both sides. I've decided there are many better ways to market in this day and age, maintaining a professionalism and not getting fined. Looking forward to learning a lot from the community!
At the DFW meetup are there going to be any up-sale.

If Bigger Pockets as a whole is any indication, I would assume no. The whole website was constructed to stop the cheesy back of the room sales pitches and $50,000 seminars.
I think its more of a local get together where we can put faces with names, network, have guest speakers and talk about all things real estate. I have not yet had the chance to attend, but I plan on going this month if possible.

Welcome to BiggerPockets, Jane. Bandit signs are typically problematic, primarily because they are illegal in most instances. Look into direct mail/yellow letters, as a well planned and executed campaign will work.

Chris,
I was at spring creek BBQ yesterday having dinner and a few wholesalers was there I never seen before trying to put deals together without any funds. I just listen while having dinner.

@Chris Feltus Thank you so much for the invite! If I wasn't flying out of state that day, I would certainly come. I'll follow you so I can know when future events are happening. Thanks again!

Our meet up is free, and there is no SALES speeches! We do not allow that! We try to keep our DFW meet up just like BP forums. Free knowledge, great networking, great people, and great speakers!
I don't do any marketing, but I always hear of people having great success with direct-mail marketing. Seems like it would be more fruitful than bandit signs. Like others have said above, there is great information on the subject all over the site!
Best of luck to you, don't hesitate to ask any questions!
